Old Melodies

Long locked inside the dark
my heart took sudden flight
my eyes did see the light
through old sorrows

Darkness tells of old days
taken by memories
so long old melodies
lost to my mind

    Anita, this is excellent. You have some unforgettable lines: “my eyes did see the light
    through old sorrows.” That last stanza was exceptional. You might have found your new favorite form. <3
