Linking today with the Sunday Muse for Muse # 139
Hosted this week by the utterly amazing talent Shay!
Life is but a mingled song,
Sung in divers keys;
Sweet and tender, brave and strong,
As the heart agrees.
~S.J. Adair Fitz-Gerald (1859–1925)
Life is an old songstress
she sings in ballads full of whiskey and blue skies
so the moon always slow dances
with the oceans in my eyes
my heart is the drummer
that keeps me on a subtle beat
but my love gets so drunken
I always fall at life’s bare feet
so I move to the melody and I pray with the hymn
yet in the cadence of everyday
I stumble for wild hearts
and straight gin
you see life is an old songstress
she sings to me in ballads full of whiskey and of rain
and I am learning to sing her chorus and know when to
refrain.
