DO NOT FORGET YOUR SONGS

by Allegra Jostad Silberstein

Sing when sunlight struggles through the blinds
             when the moon falls into day

Sing when swallows leave their nests
             when wild geese call in the night
Sing—let torn premises bleed into song
when none of the stories match

Sing to free your shackled spirit
             do not forget your songs

Sing remembered melodies
            when the words won’t come

Sing your light into the darkness
