In Sync Not

A hymn for you I know not how to begin

Like a trance this mind tries to undo

But like a tide at each receding and coming

Memories of you are a staying

Perhaps, for now the notes will have to wait

Until this heart has learned to forgive of

Hurts caused by a trust betrayed.

Someday, our paths will cross again

Will I recognize you still?

A face once known to God alone

Until then, courage is this heart’s desire

To move on one day at a time and try to find my notes, perhaps sing again

And remember you with a smile of days gone by.

To wait must be in vain…be still is God’s refrain

Someday I know this heart will find its tune again

Of a hymn I wish to sing to you

Whose kindness I once knew

I should know to be prudent next time

If only to listen to your laughter again,

If there is one memory you remember me by

Let it be for the goodness of this heart

That once was mind

For now, I shall try to find me another time…the silence I am

Speak to me again. <><
