A Sense of Belonging: Walking My Way Back

You don’t always notice it right away…that quiet feeling belonging. Sometimes, it shows up slowly—in movement, in stillness, in the simple act of showing up again. This is one of those moments.

I returned to walking after surgery, searching for something deeper. Along the way, I found a quiet sense of belonging I didn’t expect.

The world went quiet, but the music played,
Soft whispers of the seventies, my old serenade.
I couldn’t speak, I couldn’t say,
But three chords and a memory led the way.

Familiar riffs lit a spark inside,
A forgotten rhythm where words could hide.
I hummed along when no one was near,
Whispers of freedom only I could hear.

They told me once, “Sing if you can’t speak,”...

Music carried me when words disappeared after my stroke. This poem shares how old songs helped me heal, find my voice again, and remember who I am. The music stayed.
