Only a distance of silence exists between you and me
Since your lips never open, nor do your eyes see
But moments of love ever roll and they never cease
In the core of my heart being fanned by the youthful breeze
My legs are all tired now walking behind you
To find the meaning of silence that you ever pursue
Many suns have dipped too into the dark ocean
Between your ceaseless silence and my motion
Love never parts me, not even once, although you do
Rather it soars in silence and forever I stand in the queue
Often it roars within like the roaring sea in a silent night
But never reaches you since you stay far away from my sight
Love is cherished for a life that you better know
Never done at will and in silence it makes its show
Time slips, so does ever slip away youth
But love forever smiles like a vernal rose and never dies like a moth.
My love ever whispers in a larks voice far beyond the nights
Though you stay out of my reach and far beyond my sight.
