Sunlight and Shadows


Acoustic Guitar

A tapestry of silky strands

Pulled from brass strings in my hands

Chords fanned out in harmony

Woven around the melody

In rippling vibrant satin bands

The melody thread weaves and winds

Riding on the changing lines

Through peaks and valleys strong it floats

Bridging chords of tingling notes

The filaments of tune it finds

The rhythm marches sure and strong

The background warp that holds the song

As the lyrics weave and bend

In and out until the end

It rolls the tapestry along
