Poem Artwork

Sitting here on a dreary day
Listening to the old tunes sway
Piano tunes and nostalgic songs
It’s just the place where I belong
“No No…they can’t take that away ”
It’s a favorite for me….even today
“Don’t let the blues make you bad”
It’s a reminder of days when I lived sad
“Don’t let temptation surround you”
Advice that I heeded a bunch
“Cry Me a River” was one of those tunes
That brought me to tears over lunch
“I’ll be seeing you…
In everything that’s light and gay”
This is a song that gives me focus
In dreams… come what may…
“These foolish things…
Remind me of you”…
Comes on a cloud
Colored in hues
Of blues and grays and fluid tears
From days gone cold in forlorn years
Then best of all and from the heart
Comes “Moon River”
With home and a warming hearth
"Sitting on the Dock of the Bay"
All are watery songs....visuals still gray
But when I sneak on out the gloom
I smell the effervescence of a haunting tune
With aromas of love that abounds this day
The spirit of song takes me away
“I’m taking you home…”
These are the words that are comfort and strong
Belonging is where we all wish to be
It’s where I ‘m secure
With heart in a soul… born spirit free
“This love is nothing like I’ve ever known"
I'm alive in a heart and finally at home
On a tired and lack-a-daysical day…
Music is my savior from days gone gray.

...perhaps raindrops...happy and sad...have fallen in the shape of whole and half notes...a reminder of where one has been...lyrically listened to in this write...
I really like this one Susan...

You've got the music in you. I remember pulling my Toronado to the side of a steep street, high overlooking the SF Bay, to listen to the first play of a Beatles tune, Hey Jude. I cried and it wasn't even a gray day.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast, they say, so why shouldn't it pull us out of the doldrums of grey sunless days? :) Excellent pen, Susan, well done, the melody you sing in verse.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Music is the balm of the soul, I've always thought. This was like a journey through music and your heart, too. Nice work!

"In My Life" by the Beatles, comes to mind reading your poem, Such a romantic ballad by some innovative boys.
Lovely poem, Susan..
Peace, love, and light,

And then there was Nancy Wilson's "Guess Who I Saw Today," always one of my very favorite favorites . . . Melancholy mood and the poem took you there and brought to out of it as you meanderedd through your memories . . . Gotta love it . . .
