Musical Memory

Musical Memory I hear your song Break through silence. Do you sing of freedom? As you fly? A happy tune Coming from the treetops. I look for you In the pines above. When I do, Life’s simplicity Falls gently between The layers of branches. I watch nature Have its own life. Where ominous worry Does not exist. Your music brings me To the other side. So easily missed In the rush of today. Walking with pain, It is easy to get lost. Until your song Awakens me. I greet calm water. Touched by the warmth Of shining sun rays Reaching down on me. When I leave this sanctuary, A musical memory plays on To remind me What life is all about, I see. Heidi Sands
