Silence grips the soul; no voice is heard

Silence grips the soul; no voice is heard

The door closed tight; night shadows creep

The door closed tight; night shadows creep

Night shadows creep; no voice is heard

Silence grips the soul; the door closed tight

~

Dust thickens upon the old table

Dust thickens upon the old table

Old memories lost; carried by passing wind

Old memories lost; carried by passing wind

Old memories lost upon the old table

Dust thickens carried by passing wind

~

Dim light awaits the owner's return

Dim light awaits the owner's return

Longing visits; this heart feels empty

Longing visits; this heart feels empty

Dim light awaits; longing visits this

Heart feels empty; the owner's return

~

Silence grips the soul; this heart feels empty

Dim light awaits the owner's return

The door closed tight; no voice is heard

Night shadows creep upon the old table

Dust thickens; old memories lost; carried by passing wind

Longing visits

~
