Silent Band

In a place far away, a far different land

When we paused on the brink

Of the life we had planned

You looked in my eyes, I gave you my hand,

To dance to the magic

Of our own silent band.

Remember the waltz from so long ago

When we swayed to the music

Played gently and slow

Reliving the dream that you and I know

While the melody wrapped us

In a warm cozy glow.

And here in the mist of remembering we stand,

With our wish to recapture

A moment so grand,

Like the finest of threads from a spider web strand

Echoes music on moonbeams

From our own silent band

Was it you I heard singing and calling to me

Was it you waiting there

In trust patiently?

When at last our eyes meet one more time will you see

The partner you waltzed with

And loved with was me?

Harmony lingers though chords died away

Two hearts remain joined

Though we parted that day

But from the far reaches, cross the deep and the land

Whisper strains of sweet music

From our own silent band.
