  • Song Without Words

    Here is a story,
    the hardest story to tell,
    of a lover tossed on a sea
    until,
    no one can tell...
    when sea became sand
    when sand became wind.
    No one can tell,
    no one can know
    the words of this song.
    There is no one
    in this world
    who knows.
    This is the story of being alone.
    Even when you say you are there,
    whenever you say hello
    I know
    what every bird in the sky knows
    about the air,
    it holds whatever secrets
    are left untold,
    breathed without a song,
    sung without a word
    unsaid in a thousand tongues,
    this wordless song of love
    spoken, but left unsaid.
    Words that fall like the rain
    into the earth and run away,
    they do not grow
    like a green stem,
    like a sudden flower,
    but like the crystal balls of tears
    mysteriously appear
    and disappear.
    To know this story
    better than any song
    when it plays
    and it says
    to me,
    "it is I",
    is to know
    how it sings
    in a chord, upon a string, in a way
    that only you and I can know,
