Singing

Music can invoke so many different feelings and bring back many memories... even be your best friend when you are alone.

  

Everyday I sing off key

But in tune with who I am,

Not always in perfect rhythm

Though almost always in harmony.

 

Always trying to sing to the light

That a new day is upon me

And I am still alive and kicking

To praise the sun in all its glory.

 

I enjoy singing the words of amore,

Though it seems to be a solo

This stage within my heart

Is built sturdy enough for a duet.

 

Occasionally I get lost singing

My very own requiem

Though I am not dead yet

Cause I already feel buried.

 

When I am not of this earth

You can bet I will be singing with soul

So loved ones always know I care

And that I am still here.

As your poem so aptly describes, music touches us on so many different levels � it is what they say we can instantly retrieve lyrics and melody to a song we haven't heard in a long time.

And what a beautiful thought to be able to wake each morning with a song on our lips. You've captured something really special here. It reminds me of the words to a special song of mine �

"singin' from my soul / everything I am / everything I know � "

Well done again � encore � encore � encore �

I like the first stanza. The choice of words is amazing that it gives so much meaning to the title. I also like the last one when such wonderful feeling doesn't limit to oneself.

this was such a great inspiring poem
I agree, music is such great company!
I love the first stanza, it really grabs you

Everyday I sing off key

But in tune with who I am,

Not always in perfect rhythm

Though almost always in harmony.

awe, nice write, I know this feeling, and yes, maybe now, you don't sing on key but one day you will. Very toughing peace.

I wish I could sing, if anyone ever heard me sing they would pass out or run away. Yes music is a wonderful thing and so many times songs do bring back vivid memories of the past. Good to know that you can sing and enjoy singing about love. Good write.

I agree, Cowboy.

Music is SO very powerful, and you stir such thoughts and feelings with your words! I listen to music all day, and love everything about it. Thanks for the incredible write!

Ahhh methinks you are very musically minded....you leave a song in everyone's heart without singing a note,
cos you don't need to.....your soul sings for you ! Thanks soooo much.

Great piece. I went through high school in choir and still can' t sing. But I am always belting out something. Great piece...

[LisetteCanWrite!]

Wonderful and inspirational.. flows so honestly.. we are all a little out of tune sometimes! Even so it is so great to sing.. duet is even better.. doesn't matter if it's off key.. just to express yourself freely is so nice.. opens the soul..and heart!!! This one is probably one of my favorites as it shows you don't care what people think of your singing ability.. that is FREEDOM!!! Thank you for sharing!! =)

I love it, except for the "Cause I already feel buried". I do the same, it's fun when you start singing an old old old song and remember all the words to it (In French for me) it's like opening a door of lost memories. Thank you Sweetie for sharing. God Bless.
