Silence Sings To Starless Souls

Silence sings to starless souls
A melancholy tune
One that plays on endlessly
For those who've left too soon

Their danse macabre remains unseen
By those with mortal eyes
Though we will learn the steps one day
And twirl 'neath unlit skies

Sway with abandon, lift your feet
Whenever the churchbell tolls
You soon will move to the melody sweet
Silence sings to starless souls

Can I comment on my own poem? I haven't seen this in many years. It's quite lovely.
