THE GUITARIST

He walks alone

Guitar in hand

With a tune humming

Loudly in his head

He keeps walking alone

With a guitar in hand

 

No food on his table

No rest or pause

The landlord was knocking

All through the morn

Yet he walks on alone

With a guitar in hand

 

Will the songs unsung

Ever be by another heard

Will the music flow and capture

An audience into rapture

Or will he walk on alone

With tunes ringing in his head

 

The maze of life patterns

All around his tired feet

Whirling into circles

That seem to never cease

Round and round like those songs

That remain unsung for so long

 

But with a guitar in hand

He still silently sings his songs

Undefeated and with aplomb

Faith in himself keeps him on

For he hears aloud, amidst those songs

Accolades that burst, deafening all wrongs
