The Journey of Your Song

It's a lonely, truthful journey
finding your voice, with which to sing,
even worse, then there's the journey for your song;

but, we all sing from our essence
to share the truths each heart may bring,
so sing out loud, sing out clear, and sing out strong.

After a while, you may meet someone
who may fancy the same "life tune",
but, their performance of the song does not ring, true:

I can't emphasize enough, my friend
that we all live the songs we choose,
and that the melodies, and lyrics always falls on you.

That's why I sing the Blues these days,
and feel as lonely as the moon,
there's a certain honesty in reminding folks of pain;

and how next time it might be avoided
by adding "blue-notes" to the tune,
to draw attention, so it can't happen to us again.

Now, the other side of those "blue-notes
is a more joyful, hopeful tune,
to remind us that our hearts aren't always wrong;

it's merely "par for the course",
to sing of both sweet love, and pain...
..but, that's the blues.....and that's the, Journey of Your Song.

the way you swung back and forth from sweet to sour, and finally to sweet hope that there is someone and something out-there for all of us. Indeed, it sounds like the old-time R&B songs. Nice work, ~ Gee

There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
