The Sound of Music...

I like it when I hear my favourite songs on radio
Balming out those noisy and jarring music
Giving instant relief to the DJs incessant coo-ing
The refreshing breather, the welcomed change
A pleasant surprise
In the pre-dawn & post-midnight darkness and quiet

From the beginning when the prelude begins and familiarity hits
To the end when the coda calms
The sentiments flow, the emotions surge


Triggering those poignant stories and memories of the past
Conjuring images of the future
Pouring forth the words and feelings I have held back and stashed away
Recalling the chronicles with snippets and shadows of our lives

My songs- whose company chides, comforts, taunts and assures

Melancholic lyrics and soulful melodies
Witty lyrics and catchy tunes

Songs that make me sob a little and smile a little
That motivate me to run a little faster
Yet pull me back to linger a little longer
Songs that make me contemplate a little and enthuse a little
That strike a chord and tug the heart
Reviving the memories that aches a little and soothes a little

"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad"
