The Song of You

from CRAVE 2: Forbidden Secrets

The somber song of my soul
has played pitifully across the endless
agony of countless ages, upon ears
and hearts not worthy to share its
subtle splendor.

I have died a host of silent deaths,
my life a ghost of violent rests;
Notes of hope of finding home,
composed of dreams had all alone.

Yet now I hear a harmony —
my soul’s song sung back to me.
A tune I know well and true,
for now I hear the song of you.
