I Need Not Speak - February 12, 2011



I Need Not Speak

I can hear you speak, even in your silence
Blending forever into the way I feel
Until all my thoughts burn into eternity
Within a flickering picture I hold
That dazzles my senses
And my heart steals

I will tell you where the radiance shines
To make all the clouds disappear
When I feel the warmth of tomorrow's dawn
Tie a string of silk around my heart
Because I know you can see
Me standing here

I need not speak as you can see me tremble
At every turn your silence takes
I will tell you where the radiance shines
When I once again see the hope
That dazzles my senses
And my day makes

    to be touched without a word in the depths is profound not everyone has the ability or the patience to look where radiance shines

    Beautiful piece

    Perfect. Words are only necessary when love is gone.
