A Silent Speech

I prop the door open, the hall is empty, not a single living soul nears by
A peaceful day, birds singing to top their small lungs, beautiful melody take life
Tunes over flowing my very soul, and I dance to my joy, happy beyond reason I cry
The sun begins to hide, and the night sprinkles on to the day, it grows a purple sky

No clouds linger round, shadows play hide and seek for there is no light
One by one the stars that illuminate the heavens show face
And the world sighs, for the breeze picks up a little warm, humble feeling to place
All at once the blue is no more, but to the highest point, there's is a purple glee, not sore

Dreams take to the air, they climb as prayers to heavens gate
We all witness the passages once written in testimony, and we see in it fate
There is no ropes to climb, there is no lock to unlock, only belief
One whom looks but not sees surely is lost, yet a heart seeks to understand its grief

Many paths lay ahead, which one will be yours to call thy own
See the sky is vast for it is round and not ever ending? Fly above to see the shape
Oceans nest the major part of the earth and we still not know the entire aquatic world shown
An orange is no better in nourishment than a grape

A weary world we step on, there's not much left to feed
Natural resources have been abused, pardon the maze, where two play and no one wins
So fast we come to judge our fellow kind, yet we too live everyday in sins
Aquire the given knowledge, fight to strength gives in, power is in the literature, go on and read
