Soundscape of an Afternoon

Arpeggios of thought

Dance through my mind

As I sit here in the sunlight

Playing my guitar.

 

The sound of childrens laughter

Resounds through the courtyard

Like the tinkling of bells

Or the snap of a castanet.

 

A smile rises to my face as

Happiness fills me.

A result of the laughter?

I play a spanish flair.

 

Warm wind ruffles my hair.

I close my eyes

And my fingers dance on the neck of the guitar.

Deep, sweeping chords thrum to the beat of the wind.

 

For if all the world is music,

Then it is the musician's job to bring it to life.

An artist's job to depict his rendition of the beauty he sees most vividly, 

A writers job to describe how these things make him feel.

 

And so I sit and play my guitar.
