Softer Sounds...

| Softer Sounds |
I'm listening,
With softer ears,
The sounds of my youth,
So much about love,
About heartache,
About the joy in one another,
Romance,
Gossip,
Dance.
The humanity,
The hearts,
The exuberance.
I wonder if it's what's inside me,
Or what's inside the music,
Or some rainbow-sherbert-meets-vanilla-strawberry-swirl concoction,
Or just a softer,
More feeling time.
Some days,
I would love to step into the past for a week,
Just to sing "hello, old friend,"
Despite the woo-woo- googly side-eyes I would get.
And turn on the blessed radio...
