Nothing was working, frustration set in

I should start over, but where to begin?

Jumbled up messes, stuck in my head

Maybe it’s time I take a break, but instead

I continue to trudge, through this mess

No cause for alarm, it’s probably stress

Step away from the keyboard, back again

To many words are stuck tight from within

Hands on the keys, glazed eyes in a dream

I’m pretty sure, you just heard me scream!

Leave the office, go find something to eat

Perhaps I can fuel the verses with sweets

No, that will never work, they’re diabetic

This is what happens when I am frenetic

Try to calm down, take it one at a time

But the words, continue to play, a mime

They move about, but never do they speak

It’s more like they’re playing hide and seek

Okay, that’s enough, for now, they can win

I should start over, but where to begin?

Each day she would steal to the forest

Fold her hands in a silent prayer

Close her eyes, tilt her head up

And hope no one was listening there

The forest held all her secrets

Every day brought another to light

Sylvia’s past always haunted her

She came here, to makes things right

Silently whispering among fallen leaves

For autumn had come early, this time

Verses, only the knowing could hear

Her paradox, written in rhyme

The candle flame extinguished

The hour glass now cracked

His time, at last, has run out

Words unspoken, stacked

Bound between the leather

He’d let no else reveal

Verses he once wrote to her

Feelings kept concealed

Hidden in the pages

His true love for only one

Scratched upon the parchment

Until his day was done

Verses sing, sweet poetry

Penned in perfect symmetry

Hearts that spill of love divine

Feelings merged and intertwined

Unspoken words upon a page

Memories of a restless age

Written down for mortal self

Left in pages on a shelf

More than mere simplicity

The lyrics of our symphony
