Fluent In the Language of Silence

Fluent in the language of silence
Where the moon talks about her fears
On an empty dark night without stars
to keep her company surrounded by dark shrouds 

And yet the sun shows me different ways
To wrap gifts in his soft and warm rays
And in that moment I tie ribbon’s with my eyes
Those unspoken gifts I see in golden light

The clouds dance in floating happiness
Sailing high I wait for them to quench my thirst 
Growing large and puffy till they burst
Some black and grey clouds now interspersed

All held together by a limitless sky
Choosing its colours to paint on high
Fluent in silence of mind and you
I spread my wings and away I fly on cue
