Songs of Silence
There comes a time in a man’s life
When footsteps fade into the dust,
And time no longer bends tick after tock
There comes a day in a man’s life
When the sun holds its breath,
Suspended in the silence of waiting.
There comes a moment in a man’s life
When thoughts dissolve like mist,
And the soul seeks its haven.
But there will come a rising,
A soft call through the stillness,
Where life folds into life,
And the unseen becomes the eternal.
Because, in every man’s life,
The ending is but a turning,
And the silence—only the start of the song.
