It is not always words that bring
New understanding deeply seen --
Sometimes it is the silences
That fall between.
You speak and there are loosed upon
The quiet air, a flock of birds,
A thousand colors in the sun --
These are your words.
I follow dazzled as I move,
Subservient to your utmost will --
Your thoughts compel me even as
I climb the hill.
You make an ending and blue air
So lately cut to rainbow hue
Is clear, my thoughts are free and in
The silence, true.
