To find one in the stillness when evening light has faded away
Searching out the bittersweet hallways of blessed peace
Carefully lain a veil of memory across these worn stones of time
Seconds counted in silence as no rest will come to thee this night
A gentle breeze embraces the sunset as it falls upon my face
The words of known voices stir emotion like embers of a forgotten fire
Helplessness is the dance of surrender that has torn away my soul
Fingertips of past moments hold prisoner the pleasure of tomorrow
Special days marked in empty chairs surrounding empty places
Leaves rustle as I tread these haunted grounds of past lives
Words spoken in rebounding silence that embrace each breath
Seasons turn into endless longing of times forgotten most
I wait here... watching time pass before me in slow motion
The scenes fill with characters each taking their rightful places
I remember...the sounds, the scents, the sights, the moments shared
Tears fill my eyes as my soul weeps
I grieve...
