David A. Crossman - The Opening of a Rose Lyrics

In the opening of a rose
In the shedding of a tear
In corner of a smile
In the closing of a year

In the teasing breath of spring
In the falling of the snow
In the gentle kiss of rain
In the promise of "Hello"

There's a music only silence can convey
A poetry that words can't hope to hold
An interplay of shadow and of light
Reflects a wisdom far beyond the mind to know
And whispers secrets from the fortress of the soul

In the laughter of a child
In the solace of the night
In the warm glow of a fire
In the tapestry of sight

In the waking of the dawn
In the treasure of each day
In the last note of a song
Like a friend who's gone away

There's a music only silence can convey
A poetry that words can't hope to hold
An interplay of shadow and of light
Create a wisdom far beyond the mind to know
And whispers secrets from the fortress of the soul
And tell their secrets from the fortress of the soul
