A Song That Called Me Home

There was a song that called me home
Whenever I walked towards the dreary tomb
The song came from the walls, the tiles and the doors
To pull me out of the gloomy force. 

The song was sweet, magical and soothing
Causing my soul and heart to melt and sing
The soulful song often called me home 
Whenever I walked towards the dreary tomb

The song followed me in dark and deep 
Seldom letting me take a solitary trip. 
It called me with love and warmth, back to my home
Whenever I walked towards the dreary tomb.

The song is still alive but the home is now dead
No walls, no tiles and no doors for the song to thread
Striving to bring my home back to life 
The song suffered a dissonant death.

Enchanting and equally poignant ! Songs can bring back memories and some songs keep leaving their echoes all the time in our ears. Welcome back to Poetry Soup Swetha after a period of interim absence!
