I see a glimpse of you, In the shadows of stranded hair, a glimmer of hope, despite past despair
Just a short time ago, there was nothing left, but ashes and memories, from the hole in your chest
But now I can see it, Through the glow in your eyes, You block out all the negative, Pessimism and lies
You’ve accepted the truth, That you can change the path, Despite failed attempts, Now lesson plans
You don’t ever give up, Even when you should cry, When you’re broken and scared, But never ask why
You were the perfect stranger, But I now know you well, Fought through all kinds of soot, With your story to tell
A reflection of courage, The wrinkles in your smile, Bare skinned knuckles, And determined eyes
How far we’ve come, My reflection and me, I can cast a high shadow, Or cower in thee
Yet I fear not who I was, For the she that’s become of me, The former and the present, Now dance candidly
The H is Silent
