silent

I left a smile in a yesterday
a piece of happiness sown in time;
a seed sprung in fertile heart.
I was dragged away by ceaseless waves
into a wait for tomorrow
that makes an ache in darkness.
Deep night when moonbeams begin
an endless journey from sky to eye,
remembered touch to wished-for touch;
silent because they too know
the deep glow of beauty
and the emptiness of lost lights.
