A Quiet Song

There is silence across the sky tonight.. The song I sing can't be felt or held tight.. My words are quiet but the meaning so strong.. I walk by candle light but the steps may be wrong.. Paper dreams that float like smoke through the trees.. Break apart as they pass through doors with no keys.. Let me live and speak the way I dream.. For a clouded sky still holds a sun that can gleam.. Trampled letters all thrown on the floor.. Not wasted, just scooped up for something more.. The eyes of a Poet see in dreams and thoughts.. Words are played with on paper, scrambled around till they're caught..

I see a Michael writing out of his box here. Something has stirred this piece for sure. The eyes of a Poet sure sees in dreams, for their words shall flow like true running streams. As they exit their thoughts their words are written down.......:)

I don't think this is "out there," Michael. Anyone who writes can relate to the words that scramble around and the piles of crumpled poems that never made it to the posting stage. Well done! Love, Carolyn
