Music to my Ears

The other day I was singing some of my favorite songs, and I wondered, what kind of music is the most soothing?  Different people must listen to various styles of music to relax with, since we all have our own tastes.  My husband likes classical.  I like smooth jazz and easy listening.  What kind of music relaxes and/or soothes YOU the best?

Just comment and let me know, I'm curious....

waxing poetic

this time of year, it seems to me
the earth can take a breath
a tiny pause
a parentheses
after summer's heat
before the winter chill

autumn is a gentle easing
temperatures are pleasing
telling us to wait a while
enjoy the colors and the flavors

the leaves' own majesty
does celebrate the days
when the trees give one last hurrah
'fore they go dormant 'neath the snow

So let us too enjoy the time
we have, a time when harvesters
bring the bounty in
rewarding all their hard work
through the year

Thanksgiving's coming up--
but why wait till then?
thank God right now,
for autumn
