Night of Silence

Night of  silence, night of  forgetting,
write me with your soft  
and dark pencil 
lines of lost songs
and lines of love.
Someone sings from blue rocks 
high above, 
mist of a morning  first silent, 
now filled with dreams.
Waves of sadness 
over the bottom of a sea of songs, 
abandoned and yellow,
I feel your heart beating.
A  heart of a sad  morning, 
full of desires, love and  also  loneliness.
You, my voyager from a distance,
you bring me the starry nights 
with your sober and colourful heart.  
It is you, who engraves in me desire
with the power of a volcano
from a far away horizon.
Slowly, slowly,
I do not want to leave you  scared 
with my dreams.
Slowly, slowly,
my love,
find slowly to the future,
find confidence in this night of silence
and of  splendor and of love.

A beautiful, memorable write, Gert. When a loved one fills the void created by loneliness, it's a feeling you never "want to leave." There is so much truth in this poem filled is wonderful images and strong emotion. Very universal in appeal! Love, Carolyn
