If someone listens to a song
And she appears in the verse
Not summoned, not expected
Just felt, like a breeze through a half-open window
Then that is love in its gentlest form …
Not loud, not declared
But tucked between notes
Where memory breathes, and the heart still knows
What it never forgot …
And if they play it again
Not to relive the past
But to feel her near
Just once more …
Alas, the song fades!
But somewhere in its echo
lives a moment
They never said goodbye to …
I was listening to a song when a sudden thought settled in, if someone ever hears a song and thinks of me, isn’t that one of the most deeply emotional and sacred gestures?
That moment stayed with me, and I ended up writing ‘When a Song Remembers Her’ … It doesn’t follow any structure or rhyme, but it holds something personal, love, memory, longing …
Maybe it’s a poem. Maybe it’s just a feeling shaped into words. I’m not entirely sure …
But I wonder, what do you think, can something like this be called a poem? Or does a poem need rules to be real, or can it simply be a moment that moves us?
Also, I’m just wondering about you, have you ever heard a song and found someone gently returning to your heart through it?
Tell me,
Isn’t it beautiful how music remembers what we try to forget?

yes, musical notes to bring the past memory of a loved one into the forefront of our present. It can be beautifully touching or emotionally painful. I have many songs that conjure forth loved ones. It is a lovely way for music to inspire us and recollect the beauty of what once.

Music is a sort of memory for us, or at least it feels that way. I’m sure that there are people in my past who think of me when they hear certain songs – hopefully, good things! – just as I think about them when I hear a particular piece of music. And since music is eternal, then that must make us – in some small way – immortal.
A melancholy and relatable poem, Roksana.
