I was listening to music streaming through our Alexa the other day
when a song came on that reminded me of a friend who moved away.
Immediately this song became my personal chauffeur….
taking me on a drive through a forest of memories of her.
That same day I heard a song…it was one Elton John performed….
and I was driven to a group of friends…in my old college dorm.
I don’t remember their names…after all…it’s been so long….
but I remember there is happiness attached to that old song.
When I hear a song that reminds me of Deborah…
as I listen to its music and sometimes sing along
I’m transported to the moment we both first heard that song.
I suppose that’s why listening to music is so easy to embrace
because of its ability to transcend…to transform time and space.
When I randomly listen to music…happily …I never know
If it's a song that once touched my heart…where I’m going to go.
I’d like to spend more time explaining exactly what I mean…
how certain songs set me free…
but the music is still streaming
and it appears…my chauffeur’s calling me.
