    SILENT SKETCHES (Songs of the Mist-part 2)

    Once upon a never
    In a place never found
    The rhythm of my chances lost
    Reverberated through the brittle ground

    I searched through my distant memories
    Looking 4 a trace
    Of a man who once
    Ran with the wind
    Now standing silently in place

    I tried 2 paint a picture
    With words on a silent wall
    Yet, when I completed my mural
    I heard no sound at all

    Observing the subtle texures
    Of the colors as they dried
    I realized the man within the mural
    Couldn't speak though
    He vainly tried

    Never will words impart
    What a heart
    Truly feels
    Until a heart finds
    A silent place 2 heal
    Never will colors used
    Frame the
    Meaning of the Muse
    4 a soul cannot speak
    2 a heart that will refuse

    People gathered around the mural
    With polite curiosity
    They shook my hand
    And I thanked them
    4 their generosity

    They knew I was an artist
    Once critically accliamed
    But in my heart I knew the mural
    Depicted silent sketches
    Of a man in pain

    When all had left
    Who had gathered
    I tried desperately 2 recall
    The precise moment in time
    My heart took such a precarious fall

    Within, I felt the fatefull moment
    Was when she walked away
    Leaving a broken man
    Without a plan
    And nothing left 2 say

    Never will words impart
    What a heart
    Truly feels
    Until a heart finds
    A silent place 2 heal
    Never will colors used
    Frame the meaning
    Of the Muse
    4 a soul cannot speak
    2 a heart that will refuse

    A soul cannot speak
    2 a heart that will refuse
