Heart and Soul
Sitting in the stillness
Of early morning light
Freed again from darkness
That bleeds on through the night
Leaves from summer rustling
As soft gentle breezes blow
Colored by cool autumn nights
As stately trees prepare for snow
Soft music fills the silence
That begins a brand new day
Sung by a warbling wanderer
Who chooses to waylay
The many days that ended
With their burden overdue
Are forgotten in this moment
As you try to start anew
Selfish dreams of secret passions
Born of restless sleep
Hide the emptiness and sorrow
And the reasons why you weep
As the quiet desperation
Slowly drains from every pore
You lift a troubled conscience
That lay crumpled on the floor
Peace floods your weary spirit
As your heart and soul agree
When yesterday and tomorrow
Strive to live in harmony
