In Word or In Silence

Is it ?,  disappointment, pain, heartache, be in need of words

like Unicorns – death in confinement – restricted to herds

 needing release, insight, needing to be free,

 needing their life to take wing, needing to let be,

let loose upon the melancholy winds of expression –

ebbing, flowing from subconscious to conscious confession –

that upon the broken heart, lies with such pain

for one who wanted – one more time – to try again

to know the pleasures, the joys of pure love

along with all else that carries one, light and high above.

 

Is it?, joy, fullness, happiness, be in need of silence

like a light summer breeze dancing upon a picket fence

floating by, stick in hand, strumming out a joyous tune

for lovers dancing to life as one under a full moon

in silent heart that knows all and needs no word

to say what the spirit, the soul, the heart already heard.
