Poem #190 Music of our lives

Updated: May 15, 2023

The piano is being played downstairs.

A familiar melody I simultaneously haven't heard in a while or before

plays over and over again.

It's the sound of our firsts.

Our first meeting, our first date,

the first time you laughed at my jokes

the first time I said I love you.


The guitar is being strummed in the next room,

playing songs of hope, of troubles, experiences and triumphs, of a life well lived,

and vows kept.


These songs float in and out of time

echoing from a future secure but unknown

the melody of our lives.
