Old songs

I was sitting on the couch.

My father was playing his new guitar,
a new song he had written.

It was beautiful,
but ragged.

His hands don't work the same way they used too.

But then -
his eyes closed,
and his head bowed.

Something he had written before
came creeping out -

The air became soft
and his face held no strain.

I had my father back,
but for a moment.
