I’ll Never Be the Same

Sounds of Silence
The waves’ foam caress
The wind basks the leaves

Sharing that moment

frees the fearful heart --
safe is the fullness

There’s no melody
for that song of songs;
see the symphony

Making that movement

awakens the soul --
a sweet completeness.

There’s no arrangement
for that hallowed dance;
hear the harmony

Clearing the space, and

emptying the time --
not one and not two.

Together apart,
apart together;
woozy, wobbly be

Life’s muffled moan,

Love’s soothing sigh.
