Learning To Play
©Jerry Axson

I was twelve years old when I picked up my first guitar,
I marveled at the way it felt in my hand,
my fingers hurt for days but I could not put it down,
it held something I had to understand...

Learning to form the words
that my heart must say,
find the time to practice them
each and every day...
Don’t worry about what they might -
or they might not say,
just tell them all I must first crawl -
I’m learning to play...

I could close my eyes for one million years
and dream of songs I’ve yet to write,
hands forming chords that feed deep pools of tears,
looks like I’m going there tonight...
