Silent Symphony
Silence came to pick at me
Mirrored my hypocrisy
Selfless greed I pleaded then
The fearful need to then repent
All I am and could have been
What I was and should have seen
In an instant through my mind
On my knees the glass will shine
Reflections singing of a soul
Through the darkness light is shown
A symphony of quiet sounds
Through the silence I am found
What is gone has stilled my dreams
What’s to come will stifle me
A deeper hope that I can be
Everything I need to see
A moment in the mirror’s past
A thousand years to see at last
The only truth beyond this walk
The loving place we always sought
