Life is like a beautiful melody, only the lyrics are messed up. ~Author Unknown

 


Tunes In My Head

Background music is always there, as I go about my days
Some harmonies are gentle, while others wisk me away
I take these tunes for granted, so deep within my heart
Yet appreciate fine melody as a work of art

But they can get the best of me......I am an easy mark
My inner light, that gives me sight, with eyes closed in the dark
They get me into trouble, or guide me to escape
Liquid notes, from times remote, in my soul take shape

If I take Mozart driving, on Rt 80 with me
Somehow my foot gets heavy, and then I start to speed
I drive the car, much faster than, the law says I should
The flashing light, gives me a fright, cuz tickets aren't good!

And Rock N Roll's another thing to corrupt my best intentions!!
The driving beat, as woofers tweet, and push me towards suspension
And Motown makes me want to dance, as I tap on the pedal
My car now jerking forward, rhythmic steel and metal

And when people talk too much, I drift off into tune
And hear Sinatra's old time song, "Fly Me To The Moon"
I've got a compilation of songs for each occasion
It keeps my manner focused, while I mentally vacation!

When I gave birth to my son, the FIXX was my labor coach
"One Thing Leads To Another", played as motherhood approached
"You Gotta BE" by Desire, played when my daughter was born
As I groaned with every labor pain, sweaty, dazed and worn!

I guess I'm sort of lucky, to hear music instead of voice
Its better than medications, or recreational drug of choice
So if I have a vacant look, or glazed expression today
I guess I'm on another tract.....so let the music play!!

This unique "Tunes In My Head (Total Nonsense)" keeps me thinking that I hear the echoes of an esoteric message delivered through the cadence of the music played in my mind.

"Tunes In My Head (Total Nonsense)" makes all logical senses in the harmony of the soul, and flows with positive rhythm of creative wonders to energize the spirit of the soul and to feed minds.

It is a true poetical masterpiece that I have enjoyed from the reading of
"Tunes In My Head (Total Nonsense)".

Music always soothes me, and there are always tunes that get stuck inside my head! Music always makes me feel better (especially if it's Loretta Lynn or Cajun music in MY case! LOL)! Good write!
