The Honey-Tones

by southernmusings

yes! sweet melody
ringing true in
these weary ears.

cover me in
Springtime with those
honey-tones of blue

Appalachian song. ripened
by the late
Summer sun and

harvested by Winter’s
arrogant grasp; nipped
in the nose

by red-eyed frost
with heart-strings plucked
by fingers so

nimble, that only
the Holy Ghost
Himself can see

the way they
dance across the
steel cords of

this old footsore
mountain man’s soul.
