The Music Played

July 28, 2024

An angry silence lay where love had beenAnd in your eyes a look I’d never seenIf I had found the words you might have stayedBut as I turned to speak, the music played

As lovers danced their way around the floorI sat and watched you walk towards the doorI heard a friend of yours suggest you stayedAnd as you took his hand, the music played

Across the darkened room the fatal signs I sawYou’d been something more than friends beforeWhile I was hurting you by clinging to my prideHe had been waiting, and I drove him to your side

I couldn’t say the things I should have saidRefused to let my heart control my headBut I was made to see the price I paidAnd as he held you close, the music played

And as I lost your love, the music played

MOON’S RIVER

August 30, 2022

We sat by the light of the orange moon, that night

We stared at the eyes of twinkled stars so bright,

Then we fell into the thought of catching falling stars

As the night caught the gentle beat of both our hearts.

We stared at the moon in the sweet, silent sky,

Looking for a face that we could recognize

We saw the eyes on the moon, we saw the smile.

Our hearts connected to the love from way up high,

Then the moon trickled light to meet our needing eyes,

Came flowing now as roots from dark and silent skies,

Connected to our hands and feet as tiny lines,

We felt the truth of moon’s beam that amazing night.

The moment gone, moon drifts away from sight,

The night hides away as morning lights

And there on the ground we wake to find

A star twinkling, fallen from the skies.

This truth can’t be felt from other’s eyes

But we hold that truth forever of our night.

Some things must be experienced to know,

No matter what belief we speak and show.

These moments live as stories to the crowd,

The tale is told by those who speak out loud,

But all of us have moments where we feel

The magic of this dream that is so real.

I hope one day you look to skies above

And feel those stars connected to your love.

I hope you feel the pull and that you too

Touch the truth from your rivers of the moon.
