The music that moves you.... (page 21)

A glass of red wine spent
Recalling life's event
mourning not waking up
next to my beloved
To warm my hopeful spirit
Yet now numbed to the cold
for life must go on
to thus bury myself
In solitude
For we have walked different paths
And have known different fears.
And that which now brings you laughter
Might well bring me many tears.

I need to explore what sustains me
from the inside
when all else falls away.
I want to know if I can be alone
with myself
and if I truly like the company I keep
in the empty moments
in this unchosen solitude

None of you commented on my original song I posted. Did any of you listen to it? Wait, I am talking about the newer thread I made about atmospheric music. Nevermind.

Long Ago, there was a bird who sang just once in its life.

From the moment it left its nest, it searched for a thorn tree.

and it never rested until it found one.

Then it began to sing more sweetly

than any other creature on the face of the earth.

And singing, it impaled its breast on the longest, sharpest thorn.

But as it was dying, it rose above its own agony

to out-sing the lark and the nightingale.

The thorn bird pays its life for that one song

and the whole world stills to listen

and God, in His heaven ~smiles.

As its best was bought only at the cost of great pain.

Driven to the thorn, with no knowledge of the dying to come.

But when we press the thorn to our breast,

We know........

We understand.....

And still......we do it.

There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief... and unspeakable love.
