Hello, hello, hello again! It is a good day today because Friday is here, and it is one day closer to having this lockdown abolished. Personally, it was not bothering me at first, but now I am starting to get a little bit antsy. Just yesterday I went down to the lake and there were signs posted that the beach was closed. I thought that it was quite ridiculous that walking along the beach was prohibited. If any protests are taking place any time soon around my location then count me in! 

Moving on away from that subject because I am getting a little riled up… 😉

Today’s poem originated after reflecting on what happened as I played the piano yesterday. I played a song that I wrote as a child about my Dad, and since my Dad passed away it has been more difficult to play for obvious reasons. It is a lovely song in itself, but it is also bittersweet so I do not play it often. I hope you enjoy it and that you also enjoy your weekend! 

The Music

Hopelessness enters in again

As my fingertips dance across 

Piano keys with a vengeance

Playing that old familiar song

Days of old encompass

My integral existence as I 

Recollect my Dad’s sacrifices

He perpetually made for me

Throughout his short life

Tears run down my soul

As I bellow out in 

Agonizing loneliness

For my Dad remains no more

If only I could hold him 

One more time

And gaze into his light blue eyes

If only I could whisper softly

To him one last sacred moment

And tell him that forever

He would be my heart’s delight

My one and only- truly mine

I then would freeze this

Moment permanently within my mind

It is fascinating what music can manifest

Just like a leech for the emotions

Wringing out memories

Memories one thought

They had regenerated from

All still real

All so raw

Yet the music remains

Beautiful all at the same time

Until next time, stay safe and be blessed!
