Writing Prompt Day #25
Bloganuary is here!
Today is the 24th day of the writing challenge amongst our lovely WordPress Community and the Bloganuary prompt is:
What is a song or poem that speaks to you and why?
One song that speaks to me is…

Ripple by Grateful Dead
If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near as it were your own?
It’s a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they’re better left unsung
I don’t know, don’t really care
Let there be songs to fill the air
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
Reach out your hand, if your cup be empty
If your cup is full, may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men
There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone
Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow
You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who’s to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home
It’s deep yet peaceful, and very resonating. A brilliant song both in lyrics and melody.
I find it to bring this dichotomy of both sadness and optimism in life, which I really like and can relate to.
And it speaks to greater joy and hope which is ultimate for me.
