Silence's Secret

The night drags on forever
Waiting void your voice
But day comes again- too swiftly to pass
Once again we flourish

Unrealized dreams plague the past
And frozen time finds you and I,
If the silence could share secrets.

I'd tell that I denied my core
Though I knew it all, authentic.

In its confidence told the key--
Unremitting rain falls on the open lie
To conceal your heart, is to allow the gray to settle.
Winter will break when warmth surges upon it
Vulnerable to cold, harsh winds --yet all to certain to overcome.

And I would learn

Muddied has been the start - not at all transparent
But voice has begun to melt the ice
Unmistakable... but accepted?

And I know that I will never understand the reason--
Why the sun shines brightest when I see your face
And know that I will never take for granted
This time, this truth, this caring.
