A song plays in my head,
a melodic harmony.
Embellished with melisma,
played by a symphony.
Accompanying a delicate,
and serene vocalist.
Weaving a seductive,
magnetic arrest.
My thoughts wander the void,
escaping from reality.
Within this blissful day-dream,
I nestle in fantasy.
I leave behind false love,
the disillusionment of life.
I leave behind false words,
the disingenuous strife.
I revel in the truth within,
knowing my inner worth.
Re-centered once more,
my soul rife with rebirth.
I’ve allowed my pain,
to eclipse my heart.
Extinguishing the brightness,
my soul stood apart.
But now my song plays on,
my heart’s on a roll.
A corona once more,
surrounds my soul.
Jo Ann Dee
