Some open mics are good environments for writing…

Light tunes for heavy souls
the sustain lingers for as long as they need
Time to feel the depths
of all that weighs them down
for as long as they need

The melodies twirl around with abandon
giving up all resistance to the sound
swing ever outward as they open up wide
their arms to hold those heavy souls
for as long as they need
