Silent Song

What is life but a succession of preludes to unwritten words . .
                     Quote by_Constance La France

What is love, but a tale; a gust of wind blown in the dark. 
In dwindling hope, it is lost; for it failed to make a spark. 
The blank pages await for painted words to shed its grace;
But the blind feelings faded away in nothingness without a trace; 
For hope is faint for love's eternal inscription; 
A forgotten silent song without any dedication.
