Solace

From the silence of your pain I heard my name

and on the wings of light I have come

to see the sadness in your eyes

that cry without tears

 

Can you see me, I am here

I will always be near you

to calm your shattered heart

and to make you smile at the memories

 

Do you feel me, perhaps a soft brush of fur

You ache to believe it's real

but you are afraid to hope

You brush away a strand of hair

But it was I, whispering ...

 

I am only here for but a moment

The silver thread gently quivers

I will leave behind my love in a dream

When you awaken, and without really knowing why

 

Your heart will know at last

That it is all right, for now

to say good-bye
