Lives interconnect
with a single song,
a classic one
brings back memories
good and bad
when moments
occurred that were out
of their control
where destiny calls
could not be ignored
rolling down California roads
watching the sun fall below the sea
a tune comes blasting through space
a reminder of what was,
what is, what is no longer here
one person’s negativity
is another person’s positivity
how you feel when one wronged you
let it be known as you watch
balloons fly into the night sky
dance as though
this is your last night
find happiness in the dark
dance like a ballerina
making trails in the sand.
