Rhythm of my soul

At first strange noises...
Occasional joyful sounds...
We were so young...
Feeling our way for a chord...

So many chances...
T00 little understanding...
Lost in the noise...
Drowned in the silence...

Found again...
The contour of our words...
Traced over the many miles...
Then gone again...

A glimmer of hope...
Shredded by reality...
Drowned in my lakes...
Perception,............
