The Guitarist


This is a complex chap.
He composes the most beautiful, gentle music.
One can tell from his compositions that he must be the most sensitive soul.
But he has a shadow in his heart.
A terrible rift from years and years ago that has echoed through his life and which sometimes spills out with a critical cutting edge.
Buried in his world of music making I believe he finds peace…. that, ever beside him, is his true self.
Open and free; soft and rounded, like his music.
I spot him sometimes, but his sharp edges have hurt me and others I love, so I simply make space and hope to be forgiven.
