He Sang of Chains



                     

He Sang of Chains
By
Lisa A.Williams


He sang of chains,


wishing to be free
of cheating hearts-

 love
he couldn’t let go of.

He sang of doubtful minds,
 cold he couldn’t melt;
                                                     
 lonliness
which made him cry.

A young man’s words
my father sang
in a low melodic voice,

which brought him
home
 beneath a familiar sky.

    Sad and wistful and I was pleased when this poem closed with him being brought home "beneath a familiar sky". A gentle ending.

    Yes, like DSherry, the word that came tomind was 'wistful.' Nicely written.
