New Song

New Song

I have a new favourite song
The melody is warm and sublime
When I hear it I stop what I’m doing
and wrap myself in its lilting voice soothing as a mother’s
The piano keys trickle down and off the board
I think it is supposed to be a sad song
and I take great comfort in its minor key
I picture a perfect easy day at the first of autumn
leaves are all around to kick
and they are warmed from the sun
Two people are in love
Everything is sepia in colour as they walk down a country road
I don’t want to leave the song as it soothes and heals my spirit
Perhaps I am the woman in the song and I am in love during my favourite time of year
and he is the man walking by my side holding my hand
