Memories in a Song

In between lyrics and melody, Amid the tune of an afternoon song, His smiling face pops up in gray, Slowly painting the world around me With happy colors of his memory. He was that sudden pinprick in my heart When I’m walking alone In random places with random faces, Making my tears run down hastily Like that sad goodbye once upon a time. I wonder where conjoint dreams go When one chooses to let go… I wonder if they are those fireflies in the night, flickering like my hope, giving me light but not a sight of him. As the words wear out on my tongue As the hymn grows tired in my head, As the rewind continues to play, In between lyrics and melody, A man lives forever in my heart. ©reddragonfly⚘
