Melting Away
Whispered sighs on gentle breezes
A soft brush across your cheek
Slipping away in the darkness
A quiet yearning echo
Across the velvet night
Slow-burning it dies like a flame
Too late the truth reveals itself
Only a touch and we knew
A mirror of ourselves
The music of rivers
Sings sadly sweetly
And drifts through the hourglass
Of endless time
Dreams uncounted
A single lonely voice
But we are only watching
Through the passing of the years
Bearing a longing
For a meeting of souls and blending of hearts
Then slowly melting away
