Heaviness Sighs
by Michael Doyle

Life's heaviness must dissipate
Before it becomes life's fate.
A little lightness never hurts anyone.
Experiments made might still be fun.

One likes to believe in music's freedom,
And that things might be permanent, if but seldom.
It is played out with great drudgery, 
But something said with a smile becomes legendary.

Written then to the hinted subway's call
Are the moments when time signatures fall.
Strong melodies like these feel seamless,
And don't leave the audience dreamless.

Bonds of love in old novels read
Are linked together by slender threads.
These came together on life's bold page
While the modern age dances across the stage.

Stepping stones become a caress of steel
As today's warriors learn to think and feel.
Running with the wind, we were trying to find
The childhood yesterdays that we had left behind.

Written then to the hinted subway's call
Are the moments when time signatures fall.
Strong melodies like these feel seamless,
And don't leave the audience dreamless.

Buried in spaces of dark intensity,
It's easy to get caught up in the immensity.
A stranger isn't necessarily a long-awaited friend.
The last nerve to this is found at a wit's end.

The same wheels keep on endlessly spinning,
Just as they have since the very beginning.
There has always been a whole lot to say,
But must we hear it every single day?

Written then to the hinted subway's call
Are the moments when time signatures fall.
Strong melodies like these feel seamless,
And don't leave the audience dreamless.

It makes you wonder, who pre-decided
That the world will always be divided.
In this world of the constantly collided,
How did so many opinions get provided?

The nerds have stood united from the start.
Stating boldly that integrity natters as much as heart.
In all of life's stolid mass of enormity,
Some would not be swallowed whole by conformity.

Written then to the hinted subway's call
Are the moments when time signatures fall.
Strong melodies like these feel seamless,
And don't leave the audience dreamless.
