THE SWEETEST SOUND

(For "LadyFool")

On this, a balmy summers eve,

I smiled to our bright lady moon...

it was She who carried the song

far over the oceans roar between us...

And that's when we heard

the sweet sound of comfortable silence.

Mistress Emma was impassioned

playing all the haunting refrains...

with sensations and mem'ries

of long ago ~ yet a moment away ~

And that's when we remembered

the sweet sound of comfortable silence.

Candles flickered in moist breezes

while the night sky echoed the chords...

all the notes and harmonies

incited angels around to applaud...

And that's when we knew

the sweet sound of comfortable silence.

There is no time and no distance

more than what's between you and me...

as the dance moves on forever

unfolding through our infinity...

And that's where we share

the sweet sound of comfortable silence.

(Authors Note:  "Mistress Emma" is a reference to my acoustic guitar which I lovingly named, "Emma Washburn.")
