Each of us choose,
Before returning,
The melody and key
Of our life's song.
Some might select
Harmonious themes
Ending in crescendos
Satisfying to the soul.
The life song I chose
And tried to dance to
Played throughout in
Haunting minor keys.

Dance to your life's song everyday. A beautiful write here Luis.
I agree ... dance away! Thanks for the comment, AP.
Dance? Me? I can't even clap in time with music. Another little beauty this one Louis
Neither can I. Don't even try. Thank you for your gracious response, Michael!
Minor keys produce some wondrous music but this write is not minor, it is major.
You are too kind, my friend. Thanks for the confirmation, Goldie!
A fine write Louis. Yes, it's said life can be a song, rhythm, dance, etc. Oh no, you woke up to sing now. Meeowooo! Hear me?! lol.
We all contribute our voices to the song of life, and I hear yours. Thank you.
Beautiful!
Thank you my friend!
They say we all have our music to play and our song to sing. Mine is quite simple. Not much fuss. Beautiful writing. Love it 😍
I'd say that you make some beautiful music, M! Thanks for appreciating my poem.
Great write Louis.. Short but very great depth to it. I Love it! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you for your kind review, Edward!
Louis, I just adore this, and it affects a deeper meaning. One of my favorites of yours.
I'm so pleased that it meant that much to you, Heather! Thank you so much.
Saving this , very nicely done !
I'm honored! Thank you for your appreciation, wischuett.
Great write Louis! I don't think you know that I was in the All Ohio State Fair Youth Choir! I sing 1st Tenor, and I really enjoyed your poem! Even though it's not put to music, I kind of put a melody to it for you and sang it to myself!
Good for you, Edward! I sang base in a gospel quartet in my teens, and did a lot of choral work along the way. Thanks or the comment.
All of our minds have a different tune and we all get through life with that tune. Nice write 🙂
Indeed, and we all step to the beat of a different drummer. Makes it interesting, wouldn't you say? Thanks for the compliment.
Yes, and you're welcome 🙂
