Pensieve moment

Saxon Crow

Sitting here waiting for you
In my rusty old car with the stereo on
Cars hum by rocking me sideways
Will you do the same?
The music playing captures my mood
The ambience of the night matching the tune
What will i say? Will you judge or leave that to my own demons?
It would be so easy to turn the engine on and pull away
But i know I will have a passenger looking at me in the rear view mirror
Would you be disappointed?
The stereo changes to a different tune
A song of life and living
Thoughts ripple across the airwaves to a different kind of future
I can’t see you in it
But im not afraid or melancholy
I think because i know how this chapter ends
Just me sitting in my rusty old car
With the stereo on

    Sitting with music can bring every emotion to you but when the music changes into its own glory and wonder that glory and wonder will be within you and never fail.

    Great write SC.

      Very true GF. Music is the only true magic.

      Good write Crow. Pensive or Pensieve? 'Pensieve' exists. I know now I looked it up! lol.

      • Saxon Crow

        My bad. Far too much Harry Potter floating around in my head! Saying that though, it still works!

        • orchidee

          There is an actual thing called a pensieve, I discovered! You can Google it too.

          Nice picture you painted here and you painted it well.

          On the premise that 'less is more' do you think you could paint an equally pensive picture in your readers mind in just five or six lines?

            Ooo a challenge!
            As i sat and wondered introspectively
            I felt that sense of loneliness that never bothers me

            Hows that???

              Well if you're happy with it that's all that matters right now.

            • orchidee

              I don't mind, if you don't mind Crow - pensive or pensieve!

              • Saxon Crow

                Works well for me either way. But you are right i spelt it wrong, it should have been pensive! Haha

                Love the poem! The music i listen to reflects my mood tremendously. Excited for the next poem. 🙂
