Subject(s): Conversation; Love - Beginnings; Mouths; Speech; Talk; Oratory; Orators
To you—someone to pass you a book,
To throw a log on your winter fire,
To talk with you of trivial things.
To me—the glow of a silver candle,
Fingers against my heart
Stilling its yearning for the infinite.
Yet should we meet,
You and I,
You would pass me by unknowing.
