Meandering thru the mist of memories
Cloaked in a veil of frosted filigree
Like diaphanous deciduous dreams
Dyed by the darkness of eternity
I search thru the rubble of moments
That lay scattered in a dormant heart
Layer thru layer of joy and despair,
I hunted for that precise moment
When you created a memory in me
And, as each layer of dust was slowly washed clean
By tears that lay trapped and hidden
Thru ancient lifetimes of being silent
I found us...dispersing into a void of nothingness
Holding out an empty palm,
I patiently waited for you to reconcile
Yet you refused to let the grief pass
I realize now, as painful as this part is,
I have to let you go your way
With the knowing and the understanding
That someday you would know why
For life is mostly quiet
When the heart is disrobed of love...
