Silent Melody

-

Silence imprisons
A friend listens
Bound by society's dictates
Words captivate
Unmasked dreams
Together by quiet streams
Smile's sanctuary
Time tarries
Threefold cord binds
Grace finds
Hand-in-hand
Faces the wasteland
Shattered shards
Life's postcards
Betrayal's stains
Broken chains
Hope's melody
Sung endlessly
A masquerade hides
He stands beside
Uncloaked visions
Sings the musicians
Threefold cord binds
Grace finds
Hand-in-hand
