Youth's Unending Dream

A tall young lady I knew since a baby

Has come in to my vacant living room

Flying to the piano her fingers glide on ivory

Releasing melodies and crescendos

With the melting of wintery snows

Fur Elise fills the room

All at once erasing the scent of death and gloom

As the artist in me lives one more day

Ever since we said goodbye

The arts drowned under the last breath that came over you and me when we separate

I know now it is as it should be

Yet as my heart dances in tune to the melody

My once exciting life is alive one last time in the memory

I get Lost In Your Eyes and I feel my wings glide like that old butterfly

That came alive when he was by my side

As the youth's unending dream pulls back the curtain to the life for an old ghost one more time

As the spring rises, my soul brightens reaching through sunshine for growth

Through the piano melodies and crescendos.
