Something About It…
(listening to Taylor Swift’s ‘Cowboy Like Me’, from her latest album, ‘Evermore’… )
Something about the tune-
Its mood, or its easy vibe-
Sifted and shifted strife
Into the spectral flames of a log fire,
So that the psyche’s diatribe,
Disaffection and congregating lows of life
Were somehow funnelled with the rising heat, aggrieved.
Then the soul sank, sated and was rendered immune…

The song somehow transported my listening mind to a stone-walled dwelling in cold isolation, where a roaring log fire warmed and lit an ancient room.
The flames, the wine and the music seemed to dissipate any lingering strife…
