Forgotten Home

My feelings are too loud for words 
And too shy for the world. 
Read the light and have a dream 
In your hidden garden. 
No need for words. 

The words are but shadows 
Of stories never said, 
Shining from distant kingdoms, 
Reminding you of a forgotten home. 

Light rays will tell you the story. 
There is another alphabet 
Whispering from every leaf, 
Singing from every river, 
Shimmering from every sky.
