~*~ Silence ~*~

What is the music of the soul?
The aching sound of a feeling
That used to vibrate with the universe.

I want to feel the love
That used to burn so brightly.
The heat of passion,
A fire, burns in my soul.

I watch your eyes ...
Wondering if it burns in you too.
My heart yearns for the fire that was there.
Where has it gone?

Fingers touch longingly,
Eyes bright with hope,
But ... your fire is gone
Into the quiet darkness of forever.
... Silence ...
