Silent Symphony

A symphony is heard in the distance

But the strings are untouched

The reed lay silent

And the baton lies still

The music plays inviting

It brings along peace

But the crowd is agitated

Like angry buzzing bees

Yet the hall remains silent

Claps from a pair of hands

Fill the empty stage

The silent music fades

A man longs to croon

Not a sound escapes his lips

In vain he tries pitifully

But his shouts remain mute

But the symphony increase in pace

His heart beat conducts

The still air stirs a little

While dust gather on the keys

Passersby walk deaf

But music fills the hall

Strings resound the walls

And the music goes on

You Broke Me Best

You broke me best by leaving me

Alone without ear for a sorry plea

Nothing much for me is left

From love that for years I've kept

In shattered pieces you have sent

My heart hurtling down and rent

Apart from where it once before

Stood close to your beating core

I feared I'd die the day you left

My soul wither away in bereft

But then I learned you set me free

When alone I came to who I am to me

In pain I learned, by pain I grew

And much of it I never knew

My strength comes in times of fail

And light in darkness will prevail

Just Remember

Broken to know brokenness

Hurtled down to reach the depths

Where light is not seen

Remember only its glimmer

And from there reach out for it

Until it becomes mine once more

Shadows cover my eyes

And I see no more than pain

But stings will fade away too

And I know I am strong

No more tears in this valley

But remembrance of the sun

Darkness may engulf my sight

And everything is night

It no longer matters

For in this dark brokenness

I continue on and on

With the sun in my thoughts
