Paradox of Recognition
Paradox of Recognition
Unknown the impasse of a whisper
She echoes stranger in the darkness
Of her heart
So alone in the glowing flicker
The love she keeps alive there
By fired dreams
She longs to share
Somewhere in the footsteps of the night
A solitary lover wanders
Lost and out of sight
Sometimes he can hear
The falling of quiet patient tears
They keep his life bent on searching
Has pursued now for so many years
She feeds the ember-ed flames
Still softly weeping
They fall and map the shadows
He is struggling to part
In the penumbra’s of his heart
One day the tiny light she keeps
Catches spark in a stranger’s eye
He finds himself on new ground walking
Into a burning golden sunrise
Sees her holding up a shinning lantern
To guide his way
To her
Smiles bright a silvered morning
Open in a skies blue waking eye
Standing there before them
The mirror of their lives
There is a dance of lovers joining
Washing, singing through their soul
One to the other
Their hearts are falling
Into someone they have always known
A paradox of recognition
A secret their lips
Have longed to divulge
He kneels down beside her
Echoes stranger in the darkness
Of their heart
One arm wrapped about her shoulder
One word to say he promises
To stay beside her forever
And feed the fires
Of those ever hungry flames
