Prompt 37 - starting from a song

Music has a way of gnawing into our souls at times, at least it does with me, quite often. Think of your favourite songs, those lines that make you think, “wow....so few words, but really well said...” Take one such line, and use it as the first line for a poem or story. Try to be sure that your poem/story is not overly influenced by the song. Make that line your starting point, allow it to take you off in your own direction, the one that you feel inside whenever you hear that line. See where it takes you.

If you want to share what you've written, let us know.
