The Song

The song is ever-changing
 words dispelled in random rearrangings
but the melody that plays
 is the reveal of every heart in this masquerade.

Within the phrases dispersed
 lay the heartbeat unrehearsed
and every rhythmic enterprise achieved
 fails to fill the want and need to be believed.

Hum the cadence of the inner dance
 how often do we forgo the chance
when love returns to sing love tunes
 although there is no hope of its eternal loom.

Hear the measure of your long lost dream
 the shouts and whispers of some silent scream
nothing lasts forever, everyone and everything slips away
 until time ends, let the music of the song play.
