guitarist – Vicki A Alford

Lost in the music

Lost in the past

Thinking of loved ones

From when he saw last

–

Remembering the moisture

Of tears in the Dark

The touch of slim fingers

As hands slipped from his grasp

–

Torn by the memories

Burned by their mark

Of a wife left behind

Comforting a child in the dark

–

Clinging to fragments

Of their time spent together

Of their family of three

Of experiences weathered

–

So long since he saw them

So long since they danced

His wife of such memories

As he remembered by chance

–

The music reminded

Of happy days long gone

It seeped into guitar strings

And blended in song

–

Remembering the Good Days

Remembering the Dark

Of a family in Peru

Left behind in the Past
