Lyricals

Lilting, soft and lyrical,

Biting, tough, satirical,

Reaching, holding, never letting go.

Sonnets, songs and elegies,

Acappella melodies,

Where they come from, no one really knows.

Lifting spirits in the air...

Easing pain with gentle care...

Driving out the demons that we fear...

Seeking out their hiding place,

Simple power to erase

The haunting, nagging doubts that placed them there.

Who would think a simple tune

Could be the bearer of such boon?

Could ease such worry?

Chase away such woe?

The truth be told, if we had known

That lyricals work miracles,

We would have started singing long ago.
