A Beautiful Burden

Your silence has been settled on the lips of a mounted moon
The dusk breaks to dawn as the stars dim to lume 
Walking the desert floor as it fails to ail such aid 
As my feet drag the dust of a lover's masquerade 
A beautiful burden to bear on my back of softened sap
As I look to the heavens to seek the answer, on the door of the wise I tap 
He has used my arms for a rare moment of rest 
His words have nestled deep in the heart of my chest 
All that I have gained is the void of his love 
So I send my travesty away on the wings of a dove
