...a chapter from The Word Whisperer
...Peaceful silence is exhaled in a sigh of unspoken sorrow...
Peaceful silence is exhaled
in a sigh of unspoken sorrow
Just a step away from love
Surrendering to unspoken thoughts
of a vanishing enchantment
Dreaming out loud for the asking
Trying to bring back tomorrow
before the vivid dream
of dust to diamonds
no longer shines
Ungrounded surrender yields
to wanderlust tomorrows
Time won’t stand still to opine
While a rolling stone gathers no moss
rolling on through time
rolling on through time
Love 's unearthed and nurtured significance
buds in the garden of the heart and soul
buds in the garden of the heart and soul
Hope's blooms are rooted deeply within
the inner core of new beginnings
The spirit within our soul won't stand still
and watch the heart unravel
In the midst of quiet hesitation
Bewildered by over anxious,
unrealistic emotional expectations
unrealistic emotional expectations
Dreaming recklessly out loud
of blossoming new beginnings,
An aching passion left me awake and stranded
on the cotton sheets of dawn...
on the cotton sheets of dawn...
