Unsung melody

By nightshade

The tune rises from the keys
Like butterflies dancing upon a breeze
Lilting and trilling
they seem so fullfilling
as they slowly crescendo
into a somber dirge

My hateĀ  my pain
in each note contained

This is the melody of my heart.
carried away on wings of song

the winds whistle
through the thistle
a stream trickles
down thawing iciles
as the calls of the wren
carry out across the glen

My Dreams My hopes
contained in the notes

A zephyr carries this song
A melody from my heartĀ
