(mostly) short poems on life and love

breathless

September 8, 2017 by Michael Guerin

the soul of a flute
is found
in notes that float
on a tempered breath
while the soul of a guitar
consists
of finely tuned strings
which sing
when strummed or picked
by two talented hands.

the soul of a song (i suppose)
is best expressed
by written notes
that scale across a score
when played
while the soul of a book
can be found
behind printed words
bound on the page
which are only brought to life
in the blink of an eye
by a mind
eager to look below
the literal surface
of things.

and what of a human soul?
if such truly does exist
then perhaps it can be felt
in moments
that make us
breathless.
