Fictional Remembrance Poem by Bethany Maxwell

Sing to me sweet melody,
Teach me what there is to learn,
I yearn for purpose to write my thoughtful word.

Lead me into a place unknown,
Show me a lit path that once lay in shadow,
Illuminate the weary sky.

Remember my words I speak to you,
Sing this line as one once sang for life,
The piano keys holding sweet memory.

Dreams becoming reality as reality fades to fiction,
Awakening the living to a world of wonder,
My mind creating the world I speak of.

Rock me to sleep away from the day to day,
Keep me alive in the lonely song of the wolf,
Tell me stories of the life I never lived.

Sing to me in sweet harmony,
The voices of my past longing to walk again,
Welcoming me to their world of bitter sweet unknown.
