All those pretty lights
An ode to nostalgia and the delicious comfort in memories.
Sometimes getting lost in the magical memories of yesterday bring a special comfort. The pretty lights are a metaphor for all the spectacular things and people and places that have made our lives a little more wonderful! 🖤
All those pretty lights
It’s a distant memory,
and I’m hoping I can flee —
to those pretty lights.
Oh, those pretty lights!
✦
Your intentions were so clear,
my pretty dear.
The memories, oh, so fresh!
Don’t feel like I’m a mess —
anymore.
✦
The sparkles, the tunes...
So many a muse.
Oh, pretty lights!
All those pretty lights.
✦
There’re dancers, there’re cues,
heartstrings and bright views,
and those pretty lights.
Oh, those pretty lights!
✦
Please don’t stop dreaming.
Don’t you stop believing.
Even though...
✦
It’s a distant memory,
and we’re hoping we can flee —
to those pretty lights.
Oh, all those pretty lights!

Very nice and atmospheric. I really enjoyed reading this one.
This is so uplifting. You're making me want to try to write a piece where negativity doesn't seep in at all, I don't think I've ever successfully done that, lol.
