Simple Notes

The plucking of the guitar always tugs my heart strings

I don’t really know why

There’s just something so simple about it

I don’t need the whole band

Drums just add extra noise

If you need a beat

I can try to clap along in time

But no promises

A piano isn’t necessary

Just a guitar

You don’t need to sing along

There doesn’t have to be a special song

You can just play

And I’ll close my eyes and listen

Those few notes strung together say so much

And though I don’t always understand

I get enough to get by

If you want me to know more

You’ll tell me

But for right now

I’ll be content just listening

Gleaning a few precious secrets

That sneak out from the notes

That’s enough

As long as you keep plucking
