A Reason to Love
I can’t help but feel spellbound
Going through a timewarp of lust and blame
Sitting at the edge of the vortex
Listening to Beth’s voice
That old siren song
Remembering reasons that justified my means
And I mean
Mine alone
But I was young man
I still had many years of heartache and confusion ahead
Decades of hard lessons to learn
Because eventually I would find my purpose
Understanding of myself just a little better
Even thought it was not exactly what I had planned or prepared for…
But as I listen and look back
This slow groove takes me there
The melody puts me in that old trance
“Damn it, I should’ve…”
But that’s alright, it needed to be that way
So I that I would find those reasons

Self reflecting can be a bear but you sound like you have it together...

Thanks so much Poet. As 50 is approaching, I feel like I have a better grasp of myself, sometimes wanting to smack that younger me, but then again, those are the lessons I had to learn.

Excellent Musery, Wally. I remember when you used drumming one year and I got to see so many cool bands performing. I expect a cool song each day now! I particularly enjoy how you can step out of your gender and write from a different perspective from another's. We all grew seeking reasons, and learned from each lesson - be they divine or difficult.

Thank you so much Ahavati.
Yes, this year with March being Women's History Month, I had been wanting to dig into the women in music. So I had an abundance to pick from for this year's NaPoWriMo.
Come to think about it, the meanings of those songs took more depth as I got older. As a reflection, I cringe sometimes but laugh it off later. Music does tend to transport us.
