she says listen

   and watch how the chords 

naturally follow one another

   her hands flow

along the fretboard and music follows 

   the structure

which worried me

   no longer does, the parts become one

i am reminded of a sunset

   watched by newton, watched by blake

of a lake frequented by fisherman during the day

   seen by moonlight at night

i will never understand the whole

   of anything

but she brings me closer

   by example
