A Song in My Heart/ Photographic Images Reimagined -- Ideas/Wordle 401 -- 2019-april-pad-challenge-day-28


Play for Me - Ian Dooley


A Song In My Heart

A melody floats through the empty house
The words of the song come back to me
From so long ago
Now only memories

Yet memories so clear
It all could be happening today
The sun shinning
The empty house

The water running in the shower
This isn’t our house
For we shall never have a house
Together

You have built a life
And I as well
We are as close today
As we shall ever be

Still I keep the memory 
Stored in a tiny place
Shadowed from the bright light of day
A song in my heart

 _____________________________________________
Ideas

You throw the cast over and over
With a grin on your face
Put it exactly where you want
Practice to develop skill

You wait for hours
You wait for the mouse
You watch and wait
Never tire of the task


What ideas are really worth our attention?
Creative ideas
Kind ideas
Ideas, never conjured before

You are the overseer of your ideas
Like a factory you crank them out
One after the other
Unfortunately most are the same

What will diminish you?
It is your ideas
When you think small
You are

An Answer for Every Season

In all seasons we seek the answer
Is there only one answer?
Or are there many?

You have built a life
And I as well
We are as close today
As we shall ever be

I believe most have a memory such as this...and the emotions that swell in the thought of them never cease in intensity even with time...very nice and emotional...bkm

Evocative...the words palpable.

Exquisitely poignant poem of love and loss.

Afterwards only the music remains... I feel it can haunt you.

Still I keep the memory
Stored in a tiny place..

This is a lovely description!

1.I think many of us have that secret song we keep hidden in our heart.
2.Yes, we must water and feed our dreams, working each day to bring them to their fullest fruition.
3.Perhaps there are as many answers out there as the number of individuals seeking them?

I worked for hours to create a two-line poem, then come here and find you have made three that are full of feelings, bright questions, and nuances. I crown you Queen!

...so much of who we are is inside of us, unsung, unsaid, but non-the-less, living in that tiny, tucked away place...

There is a universe within only the one who holds the key can visit. Beautiful

I like the story you found in the photo. Music and memories go together.
