Words of Another

I find solace in the words and lyrics of other…

 

…Words that simply hit me in a way that I can’t describe.  Song lyrics reach deep within and bring me at ease in the midst of chaos.  Oftentimes the words of another calm me; bringing me back to reality. While I can often put my own words down onto paper; the words of another say exactly what I feel or think… 

 

The power of  written words can be so influential… completely honest and sincere.  Sometimes my own words just don’t suffice in expressing true sentiments in some situations…

 

 

Here my friends, are a ew of my favorites…
