“Music is the fuel…”

art by Stephen Bischoff

Music is the fuel
that keeps us going
once we’re way past empty
if it’s turned up just right

Music is the tool
that digs out the memories
of a time when fun
on any night
was the only priority

Music is
what fires us up
or soothes our nerves
on the days
that are far from good
or the days
that ain’t half bad

Music is for the times
when the speakers need

to take the place
of the face of another
and won’t judge
the smiles
or tears
that they bring

Music is an all nighter
by yourself
full of notes sang
and moves danced
that should only be seen
or heard
by yourself

Music rattles the bones
and eases the mind
because the words we feel
are the words we choose to hear
and we don’t have to make them up
for now
