Sweet Emotion

Memories sit on our shoulders like a shawl
often tossed back in the breeze with delight
sometimes heavy upon us with remorse
regardless they are but an echo
of pages turned and lesson learned

You have the countenance of one who is forever falling up
the beauty that is explicit in truth
there is more for you than life between your dreams
you know the tune you've learned the words
and you sing the song with sweet emotion
