Heart Strings

Let your fingers be unfrozen,

Restring your instrument,

Forget the shadows and minors,

Forget the dark distortion,


Untangle the strings of your heart,

Let the song of sorrow you are singing

Be replaced by Love’s sweet strumming,

Stop wishing for a shadow,

This shadow can never satisfy,

Only the perfect tune of another’s heart

Can fill your quiet emptiness,


You allow yourself to play but a whisper,

A murmur of your potential,

What a shame!

What a waste!

Why do you deny love’s true resonance?

Why do you ignore the happy

Hum on the horizon?


Open the door,

Wind sweeping in will blow away

The tear stained pages,

They will be forgotten

For a new composure,

A new song

Written by a new soul.
