Heartstrings Played
The songs of the ages,
played that the heart may abide in the passions of their melodies.
They are the sounds of the waves caressing the shores.
The breathing of a child asleep safe and content in your arms.
The breeze as it lovingly tantalizes your skin,
The radiance of the sun
as it warms your being from the outside in
The feeling of knowing you are a creation
and there is none other as you are
For this give thanks
