Every moment of silence is beautiful.
And then, on the silence, is played
a tune:
something traditional, earthy,
with a lilt, a poise, in the silence,
the simplest tune.
And love is like that…
It plays on the silence, becomes its theme
and conjoins.
Our hearts beat a pulse,
meter the silence, playing the tune
of our years.
