As my friend and I sat in our seats at the Liberty Bar
We talked and had laughs
Catching up and future paths
Enjoying the cool, breezy Sunday night
In the classic home, now turned restaurant
Dozens of photos hanging on the walls
Memories of other people happy
Floor and chairs made of wood
That cozy feeling they provide
And as we ordered our food
Along came the singer ready for her night
Ever since I was younger
I’ve always been attracted to such women
The way their soulful vocals resonate
How enigmatic they are in their performance
What goes on in their mind?
They sing so well yet here they are
Did they dream of making it big
Or is this where they enjoy it most
I wish I knew the answer
Perhaps I will tonight
As I gaze upon a fellow local
Singing with her heart
With such voice and beauty
How can she be single
She seems so compassionate
Truly one of a kind
Even though it’s been years since the last
I’ve known what I looked for in my mind
Good things come for patience
But effort is still needed in the moment
She just finished her performance
My moment is now
It’s time to take a chance
If she says no, I tried
So continues searching-love’s dance
As I walk up to her, she smiles humbly
And then I start, “Great show tonight”. . .
