& they lived happily ever after in the backdrop of musical strains

in the backdrop of
rousing waves and rustling leaves
chirping birds and cackling kids

hand in hand, gazing at each other,
they spoke their heart out
a thousand words in silence

the words uttered in the mind & heart
did easily reach  & convey what it meant

in the back drop of
swaying trees and singing bees
whispering winds and wandering minds

hand in hand, gazing at each other,
they spoke their heart out
a thousand words in silence

unceasing tears revealed the joy & pain
warm hug expressed the care & love

in the back drop of
gurgling stream and giggling girls
mellifluous song and melodious music

hand in hand, gazing at each other,
they spoke their heart out
a thousand words in silence

and yet in this noisy milieu
they spoke their heart out
a thousand words in silence
