Innocence

Melodies called out to me
Could you hear them
Only few understood
Little children love to hear the sounds
Their innocence beckons
They squeal and squirm
Like bolts of lightning
Sweet songs keep calling
Where do they come from
I kept them close to me
Like an entity of my own self
Can I still hear them
For I am getting older
Could my innocence be gone
But is that why I heard the songs
The harmonies were intricate
The song was so clear
But can I still hear it?
