Soul Food

Some days music is the only thing in life that makes sense. 
...if it doesn't speak to your soul you simply change the song.

That's the truth - music is soul food - it nourishes the soul like nothing else can! Great epigram with that deeper message. Hugs. Pandita

Must admit Flo, I haven't seen an Epigram before, will have to research it a bit.I love this one of yours, so profound, and so true, some days music is the only thing my Soul needs, and as you say so wisely if it doesn't speak to your Soul, change the song. Wow! and a fave....Maria xxx

Wonderful poem. I really enjoy listening to many types of music and to change the channel is one of the few controllable things in life. Oliver

Wonderful, very well done. I very much enjoyed it! My soul is content. May I change the song? Best regards, Warren

Lovely, dear. So true... you write with wisdom and fire. I've been away for about a week. Visiting family abroad. I haven't written maybe for a month. Just wanted to pass by to say hello, Shadow. Keep writing

I'm certain most people find refuge in song. i know I do. I like most kinds of music although the older i get the softer i like it. I also know if you don't C#(sharp) you'll B(flat). lol
