Silence

Shed a tear, feel the fear
Close your eyes, embrace that darkness
Let out a sigh, Let all of it flash-

Some of those thrills, some of those mistakes
Some of those little joys, and moments of deep sadness
Are only yours to keep, in your own secret garden;
Hidden for the most part, even from your minds eye.

We are alone in our secret garden,
But not lonely, for each has one's own
Just hidden from each other's realm
Entwined in a strange way-
By the chains of silence

Silence, that guards the others from our garden snakes
Those savage monsters only we can tame
That the order of togetherness be preserved.

Silence, that shields the fragrance of flowers of hope
That it can permeate the numbed senses when despair devours the soul
And stimulate it to life.
