The sweetest sounds upon the earth
Are plucked on harps within the breast:
Those who share such harmony
Are greatly and divinely blest
With hearts that beat in unison
To share their virtuosity;
A rhythmic and eternal beat
As ageless as its melody.
Each breathless note of this duet
Performed on gold and silver strings,
Will resonate with memories,
And dreams of what tomorrow brings;
And so I pray "O help me Lord
To hear my faithful lover's chord,
So strings entwined within our hearts
May harmonize forever, Lord."

A beautiful instrument to relate to the music of the heart because the first harp's strings were fragile and had to be gently strummed to bring forth the beautiful music , the same with our hearts, but when played with tender care no music is sweeter. Excellent write and I agree with Lyle a perfect 10.
Poetic perfection and a ten if there ever was one. The metaphor is incredibly appropriate and meaningful - especially to a musician, as I sometimes delude myself to be. Great words, Moses!
Warm Regards,
Lyle
