It takes a pitch perfect mandolin to-
discover the stars in the sky ,to cue the sound-
of creation , the melody of twilight ...
It takes a mandolin to quiet Hill Country's fauna ,
to provide the mystical scales of nirvana , to receive-
consonance from the shackles of dissonance, to-
drown the sound of war , tapping an answer-
before the meek and the innocent , purple views of the astral shore ..
