.............Play Me Softly.............

Echos caught where once heard remain

The song that faded ever waits to begin

One sound and September comes again

Silently waiting touch taken there within

For the past time no longer can be seen

Where beauty was now as beautiful flaws

By words become lost memories in being

Carried by the wind lost to silent applause

A song in parting one to be remembered

Broken and faded a soft melody but stays

Yet undying shall remain a glowing ember

Till once more broken eyes on words gaze

So listen quietly the unheard to be heard

The song that awaits by words again rewrite

As again the faded reappear past eyes blurred

There again play me softly through the night
