At Love's Mercy

That fading echo you hear

whispering long into the night

are all the golden memories

held desperately close and tight

if you shall release them

to flutter into the starless sky

they will be forgotten forever more

how wicked they do fly

perhaps one day to return

floating back amongst the rain

in no recognition of a broken heart

lost to time or vain

these moments in time though ripped apart

may bring a shining day

tear by tear

my soul does not fear

the breath upon love that does not stray
