Silence

Sitting in the darkness of silence

I want to know how I know you

Wondering how I see your face

Over and over in my mind

Tempting and righteous all in one

Like fire caught in ice

Only thoughts are left now

The ponderings of our exsistence

Writing out a love song tear by tear

Remembering the bad times with the good

Mark by mark the pen touches the pad

Leaving a trail of blood from past failures

Healed by the medicine of new life

Living in the arms of another

Nothing gets better then this

Now in silence I look back while I'm looking forward

Holding you in one hand and in the other hand the past

Hitting my ears like an unseen arrow

Striking the mark dead on this silence is divine

For in the whispers of its dead wind I hear all things

The yearnings of a heart and the cries of a soul

Calling out I can hear them for the first time

Welcome to the land of the living and the dead

Where the two are one and so different in every way

Finally able to feel what I was missing

I know that I am safe with you

When I'm the one protecting your everything

So with this golden silence my life is complete

Cherishing you in my heart you take the empty place

The place I vowed to never open again

Nursed back to life by the quiet ways

In your presence I now understand

What the silence is all about
