The Opening of a Rose

In the opening of a rose In the shedding of a tear In corner of a smile In the closing of a year In the teasing breath of spring In the falling of the snow In the gentle kiss of rain In the promise of "Hello" There's a music only silence can convey A poetry that words can't hope to hold An interplay of shadow and of light Reflects a wisdom far beyond the mind to know And whispers secrets from the fortress of the soul In the laughter of a child In the solace of the night In the warm glow of a fire In the tapestry of sight In the waking of the dawn In the treasure of each day In the last note of a song Like a friend who's gone away There's a music only silence can convey A poetry that words can't hope to hold An interplay of shadow and of light Create a wisdom far beyond the mind to know And whispers secrets from the fortress of the soul And tell their secrets from the fortress of the soul
