Different Sorts Of Silence

It seems like it is silent in the forest
and there is not much going on
between the lovers
But if you listen with the ears
of the heart,
you hear that all the time
the silence speaks

You hear a symphony of love
between the love birds
Sometimes it is a sad song
that makes leaves fall like teardrops

The silence can be stormy,
and full of turmoil
Or it can be the sigh of relief,
the calm after the storm

The silence can scream
with longing
It can be fiery with desire and
passion
crackling with the heat that burns
in the lover’s hearts

The silence waves and moves
It dances
It vibrates, it tingles, it pulls
It is the connecting field,
the presence that is,
It is the space that the forest
holds for the two lovers
