Tyler (Dawes) Folk Fest poem #4

here by himself
alone
unassuming
no band

just him and his 
finicky guitar
and he waits/listens
‘til it’s his turn

and then with a voice
sweet as strawberries
and a song that reaches for the
ripest    best       truths

he moulds an atmosphere
of strong trees swaying in the wind
leaves rustling
and shade and sun alternating

until pact is formed
between listener and singer
an understanding of the delicateness
of life alone in a peopled world
