Silent Music The greatest song I’ve ever known was in the written word More beautiful the lyrics were Than any music heard The verse was like a symphony each word played equal part An orchestra of letters that would wrap around my heart Percussion was the rhythm of the meter that I felt Trumpets were the glory that the poignant phrases dealt Tenderness was strummed on harp’s most delicate of strings Visions wrought of gentle phrase that yellow warbler sings The depth of thought was like the quiet undertones of bass That goes unheard, yet pulsing into memory’s embrace The greatest music ever heard were silent words of love A sonnet with the sweetest sound Like cooing of a dove Elizabeth Santos |
