What’s your all-time favorite album?

If you read an earlier post

You’ll know this prompt is cruel

I confessed just days ago

I’m not that musical.

---

Then again it’s easier

To choose some tracks

If you have owned so few.

---

The one that sticks in memory

Been heard so many times

Didn’t even belong to me

It was a housemate’s choice.

---

Two years in Nigeria

I took no tracks with me

My housemate only had a few

We’d often listen to his.

---

Unforgettably Tapestry

We’d hear it again and again.

The Earth moves under my feet

As I hear that opening track.

---

No one stays one place anymore

We were Far Away

It’s Too Late Baby, far too late

To know quite how that felt.

---

Way over Yonder

Young, far from home

When would we be Home Again?

Two years we’d be there.

---

It’s Too Late Baby

Far too late, Thankfully

You Have a Friend

And he has musical taste.

---

Where You Lead I Will Follow

Learning all these tracks

Will I still love them tomorrow

And listen when I get back?

---

Well Tapestry stays in the memory

And I’ve seen her play it live

Carole King is Beautiful

My desert island album

The one that I would choose.
