Perhaps words remain somewheregrowing tall along with timeperhaps words get stuck somewherebut still they wake time's longing
Perhaps roads get lost somewheresince they aren't trodden for journeyingbut generations keep in mindold roads full of pondering
Perhaps the birds halt their migrationsand have forgotten their nestbut still perhaps memories won't leave youa new nest they will build
Perhaps silence remains silenceand someday it will awakeand conversation will take placeto hear the silent words
Even the song is not heardwhen it is sung in silenceand when the heart cries in silencethe tear on the cheek cannot be stopped
