SOUL'S SOUNDS

her voice like
her guitar was
out of tune
so she turned
the notes
to shades of gray
and the sky bloomed
songs like drums
and thunder.

faith played
a holy song
through her.
she gave God
her music,
off-key,
but still
beautiful
as any other
love song for Him.
she knew nothing
about lyrics,
only that the universe
seeks those willing to sing.

A gem of beauty and love :)
May the universe rejoice in your song Dear Sister :) It is a blessing that you share it with those of us who are your rapt audience.

Ya Haqq!

The last two lines I shall keep with me as a reminder of why I should move, move on, move along with changes around me. Thank you.

Your work is very accomplished. You have a real gift for sparse imagery and compression of idea while writing lines that flow easily. Very nice work.
