the sunlight plunges
in the early hours shadows cast
rustling down through the leaves
for friends now and forever past
inside a quiet cobwebbed room
lies many lessons to be learned
shelves of books , Persian rugs
a row of candles softly burned
candle wax truly looks like tears
my fallen thoughts were broken
spiraling, howling through the years
volumes of words left unspoken
captive, prisoners of harmony
a remarkable pact , a covenant of love
the truths held within our hearts
solid , invincible wrought from above
what we hold captive
a hearts promise fair and just
no reward offered , or ransom paid
a sacred oath to love and trust
