Musical Magic

“Read a book” I was told when alone, 
“Get yourself into the page,
Be with the hero written in words, 
Walking beside him on stage”,

But once I’d read it I just sat in the quiet, 
Not wanting to read it again,
I wanted something to last more than one go, 
And that’s the climactic point when,

I reached to my library of favourite bands, 
Pressed play to the songs that I know,
And sat for some hours, relaxing with tunes, 
That where fleetingly fast to slow,

And these tunes I’d heard so many times before, 
So many times when I was alone,
These tunes I call and listen to often, 
They’re my repeatable friend when I’m home.
