As silence deepens So do my thoughts Yearning your touch I reach out, to find that you are there But cold, growing colder, nights get longer Sleep's embrace also escapes me, I flail Trapped in a limbo, a creation of my own thoughts an feelings But they grow stronger A passion begging for release I'm like a tap left running With no vessel there to contain my being A grief that I feel for what I may never hold (close) The sacred chalice my salvation Within sight out of reach An instrument awaiting the touch That will bring forth song A beautiful melody awaiting release From the confines of my strings In vain or not I await Till this day, in hope I long for this golden song This chalice to receive my passionate water Before I run dry
