“Life by the Drop”

 

Where were you when you heard “the” song?

Moments come and go, all life long.

 

“the” song, “the” song.

 

Rich with meaning, articulate view.

With words totally related to you.

 

“the” song, “the” song.

 

A universally shared secret,

A cold clarion beacon.

 

“the” song, the “song”.

 

A well thought out lyric,

a chest puffing pyrrhic.

 

“the” song, “the” song.

 

Forging a memory,

Melodic indemnity.

 

“the” song, “the” song.

 

Living life by the drop,

Don’t want it to stop.

 

“the” song, “the” song.

 

 

A very special thanks to Brenda A, because the discovery of a good can benefit many, and it all starts with a musical mantra that finds you caught in an unsuspecting moment.

40/40: Summer Poem Slam-a-bam is a project in which people have joined me for 40 days and 40 nights of on-demand poetry. They have submitted the concepts, ideas, and subjects; I’ve done the work.
