The border of silence

The boundless border of silence deep
Was broken by love’s gentle sweep.
Two stars appeared before my eyes,
A little brighter than the fire inside.

A child’s laugh and a maiden’s voice
Rode on the same sweet, steady choice —
A wave that carried simple songs
In beauty rare where nothing goes wrong.

Suddenly, the world’s colours came alive,
My soul could find no words to describe;
When sorrow’s world begins to show,
It means that love is near, you know.
