in

Years of Silence

 

My weary eyes had no fight,

The years of silence

And resilience

Had erased the sparkle

That was mine and mine alone.

 

I have no more fistfuls of

Sunshine to scatter

On your way.

 

I have no more daisies

To  stud your walls with.

 

I have no more pretty raindrops

To play music on your window panes.

 

I walk your path

With  an empty heart,

Looking

To rest.
