Bards of the Wind

From town to town they traveled,

Face to face and soul to soul,

Spreading words of life they heard,

To where they come and go.

Carrying the song in their hearts,

The played the notes to share the news,

To keep the towns as one together,

To share their joys or their blues.

The times may change but not the tempo,

Souls drawn together through sounds of strings,

Sometimes words just lack the power,

When music can say most anything.

Through time our skills have grown,

To share most anything far and wide,

Yet all this would lead to silence,

If hearts forget how to confide.

Looking out onto horizons,

Storm clouds building everywhere,

Amidst all fear and confusion,

It seems that people just don’t care.

And yet music carries the message,

Sung fully by bards of the wind,

The road to tomorrow begins today,

It is through love we can begin.
