Silent Strings


     I walk alone in the Neverwinter Garden
     As a new sun rises in the crystal sky
     The birth of day, so quite and peaceful
     The flame has been lost and I'm not sure why

     Its frightening how it can all fade away
     So slowly and subtle that you hardly know
     Looking at me, what could you say?
     Except "I love you"...before the tears came

     I've walked many roads to today
     And missed some that I wish to have taken
     But my heart is strong and hope survives
     These have yet to be forsaken

     The flowers here have such a gentle beauty
     Strange, I've never really noticed before
     But the roses wilted for you and me
     No water, or care could bring the color back

     The argentine scale has finally tipped
     And collapsed under the weight of our sadness
     Solitude prevails now without regard
     For the pain we have or what we miss

     In the garden of truth, it becomes clear
     As I stand on the edge of this lost love
     Revealed to me is the sorrow of blinded men
     Who doubt...what they are sure of.
