The Old Man and The Guitar by ~arwenamazon:iconarwenamazon:





Open sky, a blissfully haggard man in a park with a lovingly abused guitar.
Strokes the strings soft, lovingly
An ode to the past and all that has cried before him.

On this open day, he weeps.

A drifting cloud, playing aloud
Multicolored dervishes float sparsely above the earth, with Frisbees and hula hoops.
The passing of time always cut his heart so deep -  

Vibrating delicately with the day. He remembers
Fear of drowning, a childish thing.

Crystal clear notes bubble up over his head
Like navy ocean water.

I was listening to the Sail To The Moon (Radiohead) and looking at this painting by Picasso; and it's an utter shame I can't remember what it was called (don't laugh at me)... anyway, I got the muse, and this was born.
