a happiness, a peace, a hope
that awakens a little magic
that sets your days in a slight rosy glow
A belief
In what you knew to exist
on summer nights as a child
what you knew to exist when
the scent of lilacs danced
upon your teenage finger tips
Resting in
the dog eared pages of novels
the lines of a near forgotten poem
the lyric that gives
the music it’s harmony
you are the why
and the we
that makes life
a story worth telling
shine brightly
for those who are
lost in the dark
Grant them
a way to see again
and go searching
for a love of their own
