Dolce

An adagio plays in my mind
Triggered by the softest of sound
I’ve left this earth
Where lofty symphonies abound

A glimpse of hidden melodies
Entombed in collected memory
Bequeathed to the soul
Who holds the hearts trajectory

Now give us a song
A composition sought
Dolce in time
A tragic aria besot

The bridge leads us
Where the tempo slows
A nocturne emerges
And the song floats to a close

Sweetly it sings
The melody a familiar face
It plays from memory
Like a lovers embrace
