Music brings us into the world, travels with us on our journey and then bids us farewell.
"Songs are like pictures encased in a melodic motif so when we can't talk, or we speak another language, we can still connect through music." - Jan Hellriegel 2019.
HOME NOT HOME (MOTHER AND DAUGHTER)
So I went home to your home
But no one was home.
It was no home
I called out your name.
No replies came.
It was no home.
I cleaned all the walls at your home
I emptied out the cupboards and
Put the stuff in my car.
And I took it with me but can't you see
It don't belong .
And in the quiet I recall
Only beauty that you could grow at home.
And the longing gaze as you wrangled me
Tempestuous and wild and not liking frilly things
And I am sorry I never told you in time.
How did I not notice?
How did I not see?
That a daughter of yours
Was always going to end up
Running wild, untameable, contrary
But running free.
So I went home to your home.
It's the last time I know I'll probably be there.
But I'll take you with me
And I still got that key
To your home.
And in the quiet I recall
How you went into bat for me.
When you went down to the school and said
"There will be no home economics for she"
Because in your eyes I could have been a butcher or a baker
A doctor or a lawyer or anything I wanted to be.
You said "You've got this girl and after all
You're more beautiful and intelligent than me"
How did I not notice?
How did I not see?
That a daughter of yours was always going to end up
Singing her owns tunes and thanks to you
Always be running free.
