Musical Refrains

Strolling down memory lane as a saxophone plays
 a haunting melody,  notes floating like ghostly dreams
 as time meanders like a river through eternity

 Love etches its way into the heart of eternity
 With melodies of a violin, so bittersweet it plays
 For sometimes it ends in broken hearts and dreams

 Musical refrains take me farther into surreal dreams
 As I try to decipher metaphors flowing into eternity
 But the tune still echoes through my memory as it plays

Melodic memories plays into the rhythmic dreams of eternity

"Love etches its way into the heart of eternity" This thought along says so much. Truly wrapping around all that is me. A touch of sadness lingers, but so does hope. This is so beautifully written and presented. ~ Brandy
