Do you remember friend, when oft up high in the
hills
you told me slices of your
life?
Of its laughter and its sunshine and the happiness of it
all?
The way joy overflowed your cup
when you made a wish-come-true on a shooting
star?
The way your twinkling voice rang out in the echoing
hills
when your true love came
home from across the seven seas?
Yes, indeed, up in the
hills, you gave me slices of your life.
But without the burning fragments of your
heart,
Without the deep sorrows buried in
solitude
Amid twinkling
laughter
that rang out mysteriously in the echoing
hills,
Without the tears that wrenched your
soul
but did not spill,
Without the dark secrets that wove thro' your
spirit,
The dark broken secrets that tongue never
told
But eyes revealed...
