Play it again Sam - mirrored words

Time after time Loved am I am loved Heart beats loud in aching heart Time heals with what it steals in time Life turns back awaits turn back to life Love drips quietly into the hug of arms in love Stars reveal nothing in a sky that is full of stars Life turns back awaits turn back to life Night sighs with the ache of night Time pauses in the stillness of time Dawn spills gold to awaken the earth at dawn Love breaks free from lockets keyed with love Stars awaken, twinkle to applaud shooting stars Night drapes its velvet over weary eyes at night Time unfolds on silence just waiting killing time Truths lie buried beneath the piles of discarded half truths Dreams float on memory seas, bobbing with cast adrift dreams River carves secrets in the coils the bend the river Wind whispers tales on leaves shaken by the wind Sky holds its breath before the storm hits the sky Time unravels threads of memories lost in time Kiss unfolds like petals that draws one to kiss Hearts beat rhythms only heard by other hearts Endings whispered the start of endings Hands remember the warmth of hands Silence consoles the lost with its silence Longing wakes to dream again of longing Sorrow roots itself in the compost of grief's sorrow Mercy flows through cracks of cruelty denying mercy Time unravels threads of memories lost in time Voice trembles with the memory of that voice Promise hides behind the eyes of a promise Words soften under the weight of words Touch lingers long in the hush of touch Truth never dies its reborn as truth Love kindles love
