In His Hands
Almost instinctively, we casually intertwined our fingers and absent-mindedly rubbed our thumbs in circles periodically across the back of the other hand. We had done the same thing day after day for a quarter of a century, touch being an essential love language for us both. If we were near enough, inevitably our hands found each other and settled into their own lover’s embrace. On this occasion we sat at a back corner table in a piano bar on a cruise ship. The tiny bar teemed with other passengers, most a little tipsy, all seemingly enjoying the talented crooning and gentle humor of the British pianist as he regaled us with classic rock ballads. Many shouted requests, including the lady insistent he play some song she couldn’t remember but he must know. (She seemed more than just a bit tipsy and we never did figure out what song she wanted.) The crowd swayed back and forth in rhythm, halfway between a dance and a counterbalance to the rocking of the ship.

2024: The Saga Continues Pt. 2. Content Warning.
2024 has been a year of roller coaster emotions, and that's putting it lightly. Music has been there through every moment... the beauty and the horror. There are always two sides to every story, including mine for 2024. The first side covered the darkest moments, the failures, the despair, the pain and the heartbreak. It becomes easy to allow the moments of hopelessness to reign and overshadow the moments of light... but what good does that bring? The moments of joy, relief, calm and love may be few and far between... but they exist and that is what makes the music of them so much sweeter as 2024 concludes.

The Soundtrack Of My Year
For the Soundtrack of Your Year Writer's Challenge I chose to start almost exactly a year ago when the worst Christmas topped my list. Without going into the gritty details and pitfalls of the year that were the first six months of it. If I had to force myself to see any positives I would have to say there are none. Other than this, from the collection of music I made. All of the lyrics came from my books of poems.
