soul prints

 
Melancholy listens to me grieve
With tender understanding of my sorrow
turn the notion and begin again

Sorrow holds my attention
While sadness tries to escape
feelings personified because they are a part of me

an old soul swelling with emotion
With secrets sewn into my dreams
My hurt whispers hush now, honey
Tears just won't do

Sigh and exhale, keeper of visions
Destiny is her own
Fate is laid out with our scars
left from life to life

pieces we carry in our hidden memories
a diary of faith
secluded alchemy, it's magic

In our hearts, the souls we've come across
are woven into our thoughts
With feelings of remembrance
So, of course, we grieve their loss

In the vast eternal
not knowing if we shall meet again on the celestial highway
My tears come unbidden now

placing them in a locket
With a vow, I will recall each one of you
