The silence of a relationship
Sends two seeking solace
In the solitude of self understanding
But in opposite directions

Wilted roses fall prey to gravity
As they crumble in prior lives
Defeated by the nourishment to continue
Sweetened water soured by time

Yet a leaf is pressed into a Bible of hope
And remembrance
Taking the moisture of the tears with it
To seal memories long gone of emotion

In the quietness of one’s own immortality
The lonely path grows cold and bitter
Until The hand rises to lift up the soul
In elevated surroundings
Bringing in the sounds of a rebirth

The bird sings as the garden is reborn
Sending the bud of hope spiraling up
In the next arrangement of possibilities
A combination that may bring two together

Or distance them forever
For each must have the space to exist
As individuals sharing the independence
Never committing again to isolated slavery

The sounds now start to bear fruit
As harmony is restored
In the music within singing a smile
And within blessings you sigh

In a dance so spirited
You kick off your shoes
And yell breaking the silence
Of your prior imprisonment
In the moisture you carry on
So defiantly
