Recently I have come to know my muse

in the sounds that trigger moments

dear to my inner peace.

If a certain melody can remind me of a time

a life moment when chance discovery

brought me to a newer place,

if when inside that traveling caravan,

I was then able to redefine what it was

that dragged my soul across rough landscape,

well then I might be better off knowing music

could take me to a different place.

If I listen to the same melody all the time,

I am sure I won’t write the same words,

yet, I might experience similar emotion

while trying to figure out just why I do feel the way I do.

Sounds, words, that certain melody

might always bring me home,

to that place where I want to remain.
