A Heart Once Sang

A dark lonely silence walked into a town, in hopes of a dream to arise
Yet not even a single smile looked its way, surely the dark silence was here to stay
Only the stars witnessed the passing shadow that lurked behind that lonely silence, it was surely a surprise
Pain was written all over the silence with broken dreams as ink, yet not a soul in sight to pray

One by one the stars peeked into the world, visible they became for the sky lit in many colors
Soon there after the moon showed face, her smile came into sight first, happy she was
A vast amount of shining stars gathered to witness the dark and lonely silence pass
Not a sound was heard for miles to radiate, not a single soul to count the guest ranging in millions, plus

The gathered stars began to whisper secrets among themselves, for they knew of the coming end
They formed a line to tell the story, yet had no audience to read in the time it would be to spend
Floating hidden passionate messages carried the stars in their bellies
Lost course, no where to head the silence began to read, amazed beyond imagination it sang

Speak or for ever hold thy living breath
For a man that does not speak is just as dead inside to death
Walk into a scene with a smile, floss your spirit, speak in proper tone or even slang
Broken was the heart that once sang
