Hush the harsh words,
Intolerance, innuendos,
Presumptuous assumptions.

Hush, hush,
Loose the harness,

The love that unties,
Sailing on the waves.

Hush, hush,
Listen the silence,
The words unspoken,
The raindrops cadence,
Finally the heart softens.

And the light in your eyes,

The love and tenderness,

The life that rises

From the deepest darkness.

The love felt lifted this broken peace of mind.

Announcers of doom keep playing their drums,

I’m still turned on when I hear the engine hums.



The sun shines on the chrome, morning again.

I miss the wind, as an old, dear friend,

That revived the flame that was dying in me,

And opened the road to the daring to be…
