What Crosses My Mind

  • A Certain Melody

    I remember a time traveling the highway short ride to my exit just off the city ramp, ~ So many occasions I thought only of you soft chords of a melody when I listen tonight still … ~ Maybe it is the Beatles, back then the Fab Four – ‘Back in the USSR’ meant little…

  • Life As We Know It

    Listen to a melody if you please one familiar to the modern age we all knew how to appreciate ease there were ballads all will manage   Innovative to a measure of genius will you ever understand their verve ability to play the powerful albatross without ever spilling suggesting nerve.   We would wonder next…

  • Watching The Snowy Night Sky

    I’ve been waiting all day for the snow, now I glance my window, it arrives with a light affection reminds me of my childhood perhaps a memory that haunts me more than love the delight of family, the anticipation of a gathering, the death of a cousin, where in my silent fog of misunderstanding, I…

  • It Is A Beautiful Day

    How so do the moods define our day, we wake to a sunlit morning to defy the odds, or perhaps we settle in selective pods stepped away we did from society’s way.   A certain lovely attraction is contained in smile circus acts and normalcy all find sweet balance, life becomes less of form, tossed…

  • These are the people I remember

    I listen to a certain melody to bring me somewhere, need to step out of where I am, perhaps an escape, one might call it a sojourn, only works when I can find my right rhythm, my beat, my way of departing from my real place, into that world of imagination. I use music to…

  • (19,60,3)

    When I was four the world changed around me, my family I was only just learning to love devastated by the national news. The musty den in our home is my memory, laying on the stale carpet, didn’t need a chair, I was the kid, with my family all together in tears watching Walter Cronkite…

  • Haven’t Cried Since Lennon Died

    **Robin Williams  1951 – 2014** I really don’t recall being that effected by the loss of someone i didn’t know at all. I knew I wanted to meet him, someday have an opportunity to shake his hand feel his remarkable presence as he stood before one human being  and one amazing rock star.  When that…

  • Music, Please! (Random Notes)

    I remember There were days like these Soft mornings, just waking Eyes adjusting The steady fog of reality Waiting in the silence Laying in bed only to begin wondering again What shall I do Who might I become How could I even begin The eyes have certainly stepped in ~ …and then the music began…

  • Listening Songs

    Have you ever wondered about the power of song? I listen to feel alive Certain voices, certain lives I know sometimes they help me feel I belong ~ Words emanate through a spiritual gift of melody Breathe a wonderful sound So our hearts become wound Soothing our lives in solace – love in quiet tragedy…

  • That Silent Moment

    When we begin to smile We see a light in the horizon Imagining a world so far away Remembering a moment so near That’s when the stars really do align Telling our hearts that she got away Wishing upon another lifetime To ask our regrets to remain away And allow our lives to live as…
