The night begins with silver breath
And silence paints the sky to rest
A single note, a whisper low
Falls soft like snow on streets below
Each word you spoke, still echo clear
Like frozen stars I hold so near
The candle flickers on the glass
And time forgets to hurry past
I close my eyes, but still I see
Your voice in quiet melody
This is my crystal verse for you
Each line a light the cold breaks through
No thunder here, no cry or flame
Just gentle snow that calls your name
I sing where echoes used to be
Your memory in minor key
And through the hush, you still rehearse
My heart within this crystal verse
A violin in distance plays
The kind of tune that winter craves
I hum along, though not aloud
Your presence wrapped inside the sound
Like poetry without the rhyme
You came and left outside of time
Yet in the chords that softly swell
You’re every note I cannot spell
This is my crystal verse for you
The light refracts, the shadows move
I write you in the falling frost
The beauty found in what we lost
Though pages close, though seasons shift
You left a song I’ll always lift
So let it snow, let night immerse
My love within this crystal verse
Like winter’s breath, so light and slow
You linger in the undertow
No need for fire, no need for sun
The music says what words cannot
This is my crystal verse for you
Still shining through the quiet blue
A lullaby for days gone by
That never really said goodbye
I’ll play this song until it fades
In every note, your warmth remains
Forever kept, forever first
You live within my crystal verse
The stars will dim, the night disperse
But I’ll still sing… our crystal verse
