When Silence Speaks

When silence speaks and two hearts meet and time stands still and music matters I am left standing in the road with a naked soul.

I am reminded of a time so young and bold

truth not told.

Some say young love so brave only exists in a story book -

yet it was my life.

I am many layers. Thick and course, thin and smooth.

I have traveled far

Loved long

Lost hard.

It has made me who I am today

but what are the consequences we pay?

Does time heal wounds so deep?

When I scratch the surface

will I uncover miles of pricks and thorns

or times I adore?
