The Path of Silence

The Path of Silence
________________________________________________


In the sunset there was silence
And you

First there were words
Words hid silence

In our embrace there was silence
Not words

With desire came easy words, then
The silence of companionship

The rememberence of a journey
Begun in words

Those memories merging
In easy silence

Easy silence spoke well
Of delightful togetherness

Of the mischievous smile
In your eyes

Reflecting the trust that words
Cannot bring

We were silently certain
Of our own finding

Floating steady in turmoil and
Chaotic harmony

The bond of our embrace
Was recognized

By those that cared
To see deceitful images

By those uncertain eyes that glance
To others

To find the knowing that
They themselves must see

We were enchanted by each other
By that easy silence

Attending to the particular
Guided by the general

Image of a man and woman
Extraordinarily ordinary

Journeying into the crimson sunset
Silently certain
