The Strings of My Heart

Many broken
Some strung too tight
The tune, violent to the ear
The strings of my heart, misplayed
Stripped both of veneer and music

An orchestrated love retunes
an empty shell
Each string vibrates with new life
Songs, heart songs
Fill the ears of the King.

jay, this is great. I love the word-picture that forms when you have 'strings' from different walks of life all orchestrating together to ring out a beautiful chorus to our King. Thanks for sharing!
