The Art of Zen

December 15, 2008 • written by Gerard van Wijk

I’m sitting, watching TV,

You’re sitting in your chair.

I listen to your playing,

And ignore the grizzly bear

That’s growling on the TV,

Fierce as the Russian Czar.

I listen to your playing,

On your Fender guitar.

 

 

Your fingers dance across the strings,

Like acrobats on the trapeze.

They produce many amazing things,

And bring me to my knees.

 

 

I wish that I could play like you,

I’ve tried time and again.

But unlike you, so unlike you,

I lack that certain “Zen.”

 

 

That Zen that lies inside of you

And lets you play with ease.That Zen that I have tried to use,

that’s brought me to my knees.
