PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I was listening to music streaming through our Alexa the other day

when a song came on that reminded me of a friend who moved away.

Immediately this song became my personal chauffeur….

taking me on a drive through a forest of memories of her.

That same day I heard a song…it was one Elton John performed….

and I was driven to a group of friends…in my old college dorm.

I don’t remember their names…after all…it’s been so long….

but I remember there is happiness attached to that old song. 

When I hear a song that reminds me of Deborah…

as I listen to its music and sometimes sing along

I’m transported to the moment we both first heard that song.

I suppose that’s why listening to music is so easy to embrace

because of its ability to transcend…to transform time and space.

When I randomly listen to music…happily …I never know

If it's a song that once touched my heart…where I’m going to go.

I’d like to spend more time explaining exactly what I mean…

how certain songs set me free…

but the music is still streaming 

and it appears…my chauffeur’s calling me.
