Advent of Your Smile
by Lulu AlderA decrepit music box breached the silence that we often did not bother to fill
just like church bells tolling on a Thursday high noon
with delayed, haunting notes.
You said once that someone stole your sunsets,
and I just wanted to tell you
You still own the dawn.
You only sing sad songs, but you sing none the less.
Maybe one day youll sing for the glory in the daybreak.
Pensive moments tick by
accented with an irregular melody
that seems to transport you back to a moment from childhood
when you danced on your fathers shoes.
And Im reminded with your broken laughter that
I wanted to tell you
Your fragments are just as beautiful
as the stars in your tears.
Your melancholy harmony never struck me as remote to human experience.
And Ive wanted to tell you for some time now
This life craves you.
This life desires your chime.
Not all the words are pretty,
but that never meant they should be forgotten lyrics.
Maybe one day youll sing for the glory in your daybreak. 06/29/2005 Posted on 06/29/2005
