Cherished Gift

A poem about the gift of sharing/bonding through music.

                                                  Cherished Gift



I look at your hands strong and true.

Magical fingers that with one strum

can bring my soul to life.

I close my eyes to commit the beauty

in your voice to memory.

The words scarring my heart.

The line between pleasure and pain is blurred.

The words so honest, too honest to bear.

Yet you are willing to share,

giving me insight to your soul.

Layed bare and defenseless you

search for understanding.

And I do understand.

The music allows me to feel what you feel.

A true gift to give with nothing held back.

I take all that you have and cherish it.

Hold it close and envelope it in love.
