A Life Of Song

A life of song

I have shared 

this piece of wood

charmed and played 

the endless mysteries.

Sang about the flowers

started and fought battles

after the rebel songs

flying fists across the bar.

You found my song on 

the pavement  

we bantered 

in smoking rooms 

scarpered down the 

after hours streets,

and pissed against the stars

singing 

'Whiskey in the jar,

and we choked back the

tears of laughter.

I've played with 

this piece of wood

for years 

breaking down

the barricades..

Avie..
