Unstruck

Neville

Unstruck

hark,
listen to the silence
that sits
between two notes
calling
   an unbrushed string ..
within
   itself, a masterpiece ..
indeed,
   a sublime symphony ..
unstruck
yet held somewhere
deep
  within an inner ear ..
savoured
and shared between
the
mechanisms of touch,
feeling
   and understanding ..
not
heard as such but duly
 noted,
regardless of whether
picked,
   plucked or strummed ..
harken
hard and practice long
listen to
the heartbeat hid deep
within
this most sacred of long
lost
   unstruck and holy chords ..

    I love this poem! Simply the possibilities of an unwritten melody on the guitar is a great thought. What unstruck delights await!

            Boo!! I shattered the silence - I would, being a pesky sort of rodent.

            Silence can bring so much wonder to us Neville.
