Little Tune

How simple is that little tune
That comes on footsteps soft and light
And fills my heart with sheer delight
Then plucking gently on the strings
Of heart’s most deep and sacred things
My sorrow is exhumed

The splendor of a little tune
Stirs up the wells of seasons past
And draws their teardrops swift and fast
So softly does the song caress
Exquisite moments dearly blessed
And sends me dancing to my tomb

A simple little tune and a beautiful little poem.

Enjoyed Elizabeth.

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.
(by Virginia Woolf)

Elizabeth, this was lovely.  I cannot help but think about the influence that "little tunes" have on us; really, very profound!

Dear Liz, that's a keeper for sure and I'll hang it on my kitchen door, so that everyone who comes in will read it.

Your tunes are always a pleasure to read.
