And The Notes Are Sweet

by Darren Swift



Sitting, strumming, slow
notes fall from fresh fingers
filling the room, mellow.

C minor, A minor, C; the
strings resonate round
sending sounds of their own.

A nail catches high E,
constantly, the nylon sings
comfort, joy, harmony.

My life becomes perfect,
I cherish the moment:
C minor, A minor, C.

I hear the chording... and I love how

A nail catches high E,
constantly, the nylon sings
comfort, joy, harmony.

Yes... a high E would complement C major or A minor. Like I said, I can "hear" this. Beautiful. Just beautiful.
