back in the day you touched me,
cherished me,
took pleasure
undressing me from the sleeves
I was your music
the harmonizing companion
with an organic tone
you so adored
I was imperfect,
got worn out
faltered at times
but you didn't mind.

Over time, you disregarded me
did not take me out
for a spin,
became embarrassed to do so,
shelved me altogether
I became out of mode
you didn't turn me on
anymore,
mocked me,
began thinking of me
too big and cumbersome

but along came a D.J.
with warm hands, who,
from the first touch
appreciated me
and the whole package
He did not find fault
with my size
He treats me with
the utmost care
so gentle, gentle
with his playful tickles.

Everyday he lugs me around-
here, there and everywhere
Because of him
I have rediscovered the world
that had left me behind
in the dust
He found me,
and furthermore
let me find myself again
I was picked up
from the thick of ashes.
