Music Memory
Running errands on a hot day,
a song comes on the car radio
With just a few opening notes,
I am transported back in time
The familiar notes and words
wrap around me and take me back
to a time and place that was simpler
when I was much younger
As I come back to the present,
I realized that my mind had gone
back in time, yet I was still
in my car at a traffic light.

WEll–This made me laugh out loud–seeing myself doing the same before. I now think that is one of the purposes of music these days to “take me back” and to allow me to feel “much younger” It’s a good thing. Thanks for highlighting the mind-play that music brings! Great poem!
Thanks, Ann. This one was fun!
