there is a silence

[thisnewday]

Watch on YouTube

there is a silence
around the music of "morning"
which seems to linger
inside of conversations,
inside of words like
moving, eternal,
powerful, brilliant, words
which say everything
about the way it's played
but nothing
about the reason;

there is a silence
around the music of "morning"
which seems to linger
inside of hearts
so recently broken
by loss for which
there seems
no reason;

there is a silence
which seems to linger
around a life,
a special smile, 
her name;
there is a silence 
which, it seems,
can only be broken
by the music
of "morning."
