Ode to Melancholy

This is my ode
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be

Close your eyes
Take my hand
Together we'll wander
In search of lost lands
Where time is a treasure
Drawn in sand
And stars like forests
Hold hidden paths

Where love comes gently
In a warm night breeze
With tender sorrow
And arms to heal
Where the heart meets the lover
That moonlight shields
Where the sadness of today
Is tomorrow's dream

This is my ode
To melancholy
To all that's been lost
To all that could be
To the haunted waters
That reach for me
To the ghosts of lost time
Who call to me
