Ode On My iPod (apologies to jk)

Thou slender silver lady of eloquence
So simple and yet so subtly profound
Millions of stories are contained within
One simple button to hear them sound

soft pillows and
--------hard iron
red velvet and
--------sweet oranges
craggy cliffs and
--------blue blue skies
hard rain and
--------black hearts
uplifted hands and
--------bruised knees
crossed swords and
--------bloody bullets
frozen rivers and
--------dusty plains
rainy windows and
--------tears descending
bonded hands and
--------fractured lives

Can so much beauty and truth be so easy?
Should it?
