End of Silence

Adrift, the sleep made us liars
It kept us close and
Convinced us we’d be fine when
The summer never came back and
Winter took time to pass
A newfound dawn, a newborn wind
And winter left before the welcomed spring

Through years of resistance
Where I rarely felt whole
Long distance calls from my soul were never answered
When the darkest horizon
Once gave way for the sun
It gave me the courage to end the silence

A mirrors reflections in broken glass
Made two pieces fit at last
The wind was rare its victims blind
We couldn’t stop, could not rewind

We became victims of the quietness
Led astray by intent
Our wishes similar but not the same
And with sunrise the reason came

Through years of resistance
Where I rarely felt whole
Long distance calls from my soul were never answered
When the darkest horizon
Once gave way for the sun
It gave me the courage to end the silence

At the Atlantic edge awaits the end of silence
