Let Shadows Speak

Led shadows speak now Of things merged in dusky depths A bridge brimmed with vows In the silence hear The breaking heart of deaf trees Rinsing the blind love The web shakes tighter Shackling the wings cry for help Joy glistens with tears The bird mutes its wait A spider descends to feast From talons of fate Leaves are dry of tears There is no trace of dead things In dawn's drops of dew The nightingale sings Impervious of my pain It's homage is kind I hear silence now Footsteps of sun on my skin Love's soft wings are webbed Day throws a bright net Over my dreams, the seed sleeps Till the soil is wet. Deaf trees break my heart Roots stab again the soil's eye And groan in its stead
