    She Was King

     The truth eluded her at the end of the day.
    And softly, with weary steps, she embraced the guitar.
    Forlorn strands of hair veiled her face
    As her back bowed upon it's dimming shape.

    In the gloaming light of her lair,
    The cavernous silence resonated.
    The first silken chords echoed
    The deepening ache of solitude.

    She caressed the neck with loverly fingers.
    At the end of the day, truth fell 
    Like water through cracks.

    She wandered without panic.
    Easily shifting from chord to chord.
    The knots unraveling like falling satin.

    She was silent.  
    And in that silence,
    she was King.

    I am glad you loved it. I wrote this one, thinking of my sister who plays the guitar. I envied her ability to regain composure at the end of a bad day by having a small jam session with her guitar.
