Once (Free verse) by phoenixxx

A smile, a word And the dreams you stirred Once made me feel so alive A key, a ring Once a beautiful thing At times kept my head in the sky A note, a glance And that amorous trace Used to make life worth while A book, a game OH!-its all the same In a world that’s been defiled Hopes and fears Through all these years Have kept me going along Now I sing and shout And let the pain drive out In the words of an unsung song

I apologize. I was inspired by those 2 lines to write this poem when I first read the book. I used the lines and then didn't look at the poem for over a year, therefore did not remember from whence they were taken.
