In Sync with Silence


They are in sync with each other's silence-
The sky, the clouds, the river and the jetty.

An epiphany of two souls
Torn asunder
By too much sweetness-
A naivety!
They now deal in silence,
Growing rich in grief day by day.

Their hearts, too full
Like the river, are too mute as well.

Their minds, a mass of clouds, lie in a state of fugue, impenetrable to reasons.

Their Icarus wings melt
And the sky, with a sigh,
Watches their earthward plummet.

The beaks, long and short,
Look for the traces of the feet
That often treaded the jetty together,
But find none.

But a certain fragrance wafts through the air.

A souvenir of their love!
