HIDDEN MEMORIES

by Joan Moos
 
Musical memories
are held in my mind,
stored in a place
that is quite hard to find.
 
Then one day a
song that I hear,
brings a memory in focus …
so perfectly clear.
 
It just slips out
as though it were new.
Just a song from the past,
and I'm right back with you.
 
A couple of notes,
Just one little word
revives my memory
just as soon as it’s heard.
 
I recall every word,
every note from the past,
for somehow my mind
holds each measure fast.
 
With the music in me
I know I'll never grow old,
as the notes and the words
help my past to unfold.
