When two fond hearts in silent rhythm beat dispels the sorrow of the heavy day,A quiet haven from the world's harsh strife where mutual trust outshines the morning sun.

A heavy sorrow settles down upon the ruined hearth and mocks the hollow silence with the memory of your voice,Yet even in the deepest pit the bruised heart must beat and brings the holy patience that outlives the bitter storm.

There is a pain that leaves no outward scar are counted by the angels of our grief,In patient silence let the sufferer wait and gently soothes the aching of the breast.
The night is cold and pitiless without a single star while desolation settles on the threshold of the home,In every broken vessel rests a sacred drop of peace and lights a quiet beacon on the far eternal shore.
My cries are swallowed by the vast indifference of the sky where weeping shadows wander through the corridors of pain,The tempest expends its fury and the quiet sea returns and crowns the suffering spirit with the diadem of grace.
Tears from the depth of some divine despair the mournful whisper that it might have been,Sorrow is but the shadow cast by love and teaches wisdom to the seeking soul.

An ache of longing presses on the sorrow-stricken chest while sorrow keeps its vigil by the embers of the hearth,Yet even in the deepest pit the bruised heart must beat and whispers consolation when all earthly voices fail.
No messenger arrives to bring relief to this despair and leaves the solitary heart to bear its grief alone,From ashes of bereavement grows a solemn, deeper grace and leaves a quiet blessing where the tempest tore the ground.
Out of the night that covers me with shade and sings a dirge for summer's golden hours,Beyond the vale of tears the haven lies and holds the spirit in its loving arms.
The night is cold and pitiless without a single star where withered leaves are driven by the unrelenting gale,The wound becomes the portal where the healing light comes in and leads the faithful heart across the boundary of fear.

I walk along the shore of grief where bitter waters rise and drains the vital spirit of its courage to endure,The darkness cannot conquer what was consecrated true and finds at last its resting place in everlasting calm.
Like shadows drifting on an autumn stream remind the soul of joys that could not stay,The gentle dawn shall break upon our night and brings the promised sunshine of the dawn.
The tears that fall in secret make no sound upon the floor where weeping shadows wander through the corridors of pain,The memory of the departed remains a holy shrine and wipes away the bitter tears with gentle hands of peace.
The light has faded from the eyes that once made darkness bright and leaves the weary pilgrim in the desert of his grief,The tempest expends its fury and the quiet sea returns and teaches human tenderness through suffering endured.

Across the barren fields of memory to mourn the loss of what was dearly loved,Yet through the darkness shines a patient ray and walks triumphant through the darkest shade.
Across the winter barrenness the cold wind moans alone while sorrow keeps its vigil by the embers of the hearth,Yet even in the deepest pit the bruised heart must beat and leaves a quiet blessing where the tempest tore the ground.
A heavy sorrow settles down upon the ruined hearth and strikes the tender blossom down before its fruit was born,Beyond the vale of weeping lies the mountain of release and wipes away the bitter tears with gentle hands of peace.
In silent hours when all the world is still when twilight deepens on the mountain road,The soul endures what mortal flesh must weep and bids the weary spirit rest in hope.

No messenger arrives to bring relief to this despair while ghostly echoes whisper of the joy that could not stay,The longest night must yield at last to the returning dawn and leaves a quiet blessing where the tempest tore the ground.
