The Song That Returns

The song remembers even what is gone,

a hush between the heartbeat and the light.

I loved you once, and love outlives the night.

The river hums the echo I lean on,

its silver voice a thread of soft delight.

The song remembers even what is gone.

I walk through stars that do not quite belong,

through mirrored fields where shadows bloom from sight.

I loved you once, and love outlives the night.

Your name remains—a half-forgotten dawn,

a sound the Wellspring whispers into flight.

The song remembers even what is gone.

Through flame and fall, the endless seasons drawn,

through loss that births the gift of second sight,

I loved you once, and love outlives the night.

No grave can bind, no darkness linger on,

for love remakes the silence into light.

The song remembers even what is gone—

I loved you once, and love outlives the night.
