M-U-S-I-C, Life Forces
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R._N._Taber
I am partially deaf, cannot play an instrument and certainly don’t have a good singing voice… and that's not even the half of it...BUT… what the heck?
My mother had a lovely singing voice; she died in 1976, and sings to me all the time .
Slow, slow, quick-quick, slow… I will have music wherever I go.
Thanks for dropping by the blog, everyone. At 75,and living on my own here in London UK (especially at the moment, with the Covid-19 variant spreading fast...)
Take care, be safe, keep well and be sure to nurture a positive thinking mindset,

M-U-S-I-C, LIFE FORCES
There’s no finer a music
of
the heart than speaks to us of love
and
helps us rise above
even
the worst life can throw at us;
as
years pass, and we grow old,
memories
fading but for an inner eye
inspiring
us helping us feel
the
finer, better, greater part of such times
as
saw us engage with joie de vivre
Romantic
refrain or rave,
there’s
nothing like the magic of music
for
getting mind-body spirit
to
engage with its other self, one seeing
the
best in others,
keeping
in touch over years with those
with
whom it can share
tears
of joy as well as the pain of unforeseen
tomorrows
likely to catch us unawares
Where
passion a hymn to life,
needless
to say, it may well be a pop song
lending
us an ear
to
what goes on in corners of the heart
that’s
harbouring feelings
it
has yet to acknowledge, explore, dare
(or
ignore) a need for someone
ready
and willing to dance to whatever music
brings
the same two pairs of feet to life
We
grow old, mind-body-spirit
close
to curtain call but for such sound
of
music as keep us all
on
our toes, in each other’s arms, wherever
they
take us… high notes,
low
notes, middle-of-the-road notes,
(as
well the case may be)
through
to our journey’s end, be it near or far,
its more enduring steps played by ear
Pride
of place among memories we have made,
the
music played...
