The dream I dreamt so long ago
Has plainly come to pass…
Behind me they lay shattered; torn
But I a peaceful lass.
The chains held tight upon my heart
Rest crumpled on the floor…
As I a simple, little dove
Fly happy as before!
I’ve laid to rest the love I had
For one so long ago…
Serene and free this little bird
Flies with nothing in tow!
I look upon the future bright
With softer, wiser eyes…
The heart now free from past distress
I fly toward open skies!
Finality: what peace!

Absolutely beautiful.
How sad twould be to cage a bird,
And watch it droop and die...
Twere better far to loose the cage,
And let the poor thing fly-
So fly my lovely little dove.
To better pastures go...
I wish thee well, my little one,
And I will miss thee so.

woohooo!!
I'm so glad to see something new from you! This is an excellent piece Melissa. I like how it expresses an acceptance of the past and is hopeful of the future. The rhyming and flow are impeccable. I've missed your writing, it's nice to read your work again.

Awwww
I heard about this and you've expressed it so very eloquently here. Sometimes that has to be done I guess, to keep our lives moving. Kinda like running through the woods and getting your shirt caught on a tree branch. You either break it loose, or leave it there. Seems like maybe you left it there and got it returned to you finally. Nice write daughter.

This seems the words of someone who knows lifes pain but doesnt allow it to hold them down. I like it

It sounds as if you finally realized that you cannot breath life into a dream long dead.
You have expressed yourself beautifully.
