Voice Without Words

Falling like leaves, you and me
With winters that freeze to the heart
An emptiness so large as to engulf an abyss
But small as a tear in a closed hand

Surrounded by a song of deep melody
That flows in a silence
Like the silence of a tree
Like the voice without words

Eyes say nothing except the reflecting glimmer of a love fallen
Fallen deep, fallen away from you
A picture held deep flies free with the doves
You smile and the world turns
The world burns and ashes upon ashes
Ashes upon dust blow hazily through the night

Far away from you gives misery
