Notes About The Poem
This is also inspired by the wonderful gift that came to me last week from a complete stranger who put the words of my poem Honeymoon Serenade to music. A big thanks to Ryan Lucas, marvelous musician and singer, who came to me as a stranger with one of the best birthday gifts I ever received.
Also, am I the only one who is always hearing radio songs in my head every day??
Inside My Head
Inside my head, I sometimes hear a song:
Often it is one that I have heard before.
Just one song only, playing all day long,
turning off, then on; I do not know what for!
A special song for each day,which I cannot ignore.
Yes, each day it seems a different tune takes wing
to flutter in my brain so tirelessly.
This tune will take a rest while I am focusing
on matters of importance; furthermore, the melody
that I keep hearing might some other day revisit me!
My time each morning driving, singing to the radio
is the start of this phenomenon.
One tune will stay with me as into work I go.
It's possible by evening it could well be gone,
then restart at bedtime or reappear at dawn!
Last week there came to me a lovely tune -
A gift to me from a musician. It has stayed
for several days with me. I hope it won’t be leaving soon
The words inside my head entwining with the tune he made
are the very lyrics that I penned - my own sweet serenade!
