Melody
Notes of a faint melody
linger in the air.
What is this song?
The tune plays,
bringing with it a feeling of reminiscence.
The piano strikes a chord
and all ears stop to listen.
My heart pounds like the beat of a drum.
I feel my heart floating in the clouds.
I dream
and allow the music to carry me
to a distant place,
a place of peace and calm,
where there are no more worries
and no more pain.
I allow the music
to wash over me
and soothe my wounded body,
broken down and beaten.
I am made whole again.
I breathe in
the fresh air
made clear by melody.
My mind runs blank
as I relish the moment.
I am caught,
frozen in time.
Love's sweet song plays gently.
The music calls to me,
and I answer.
I lift my voice to the sound
and sing.
I am transported in time
to the age before trouble began.
I feel my heart
soar away.
The music plays fainter
and fainter,
fading away
into nothing,
and I return home.
