In the Silence of the Night

In the silence of the night,
a melody fills the air,
notes dancing in the moonlight,
a symphony so rare.

The music speaks to my soul,
a language on its own;
it tells a tale of love and loss,
of joy and sorrow sown.

Each note a story in itself,
a poem in music form,
it weaves a tapestry of sound,
a feeling so warm.

I close my eyes and let it in,
this song that speaks to me;
it touches depths within my heart,
and sets my spirit free.

So let the music guide my way,
through life’s uncertain dance,
for in its melody I find,
a new hope, a new chance.
