The Shadow of Her Words

In the shadow of her words his heart opened He looked beyond the scars, the the broken pieces He heard a hidden melody written in between her words An enchanting song heard only by kindred souls One by one he released into the river of life they shared one flower in the morning one flower at night The beauty of its scent did not come from without it came from within her heart The beauty of its color did not come from without it came from within her heart As storms came and went the flood waters ebbing in rhythms The flowers continue merely tokens from one soul to another Hate can not survive in the light of day where beauty abounds Love transcends the darkness for memories light the way Hate feeds upon the lies of darkness devouring itself Love nourishes on more love feeding eternity The flowers continue in the river of life they share replenished in love shared in the joy of a smile felt not seen in an enchanting song heard only by kindred souls
