TUNES OF OUR TIME
Kind of prophetic that I wrote this 2 weeks before MJ passed away.
Sharing an era brings laughter
like wind chimes between the oldest of friends.
Like our memories, it only needs the mildest of breezes
to send musical notes of nostalgia
raining down like the drops of a fountain,
whose ripples reach the innermost sanctum of our souls.
Decades may have scattered our lives
like so much pollen germinating a vast expanse of the earth.
Still, we make the worthwhile effort
of gathering our blooms
into the most eclectic of bouquets.
Each color singing the choruses of our favorite tunes,
though our muscles may suffer from amnesia,
our minds mirror grandfather clock hands
moonwalking through time.
Individually, our musical memories resemble
lovingly smoothed touchstones.
But collectively, and most definitely
they come together into vibrantly intricate mosaics.
Forever bonded are we to each other,
as we are to the melodies of our youth;
weaving harmonious quilts of friendship
that will always be in tune.
