Though you keep silent,
the moon passes by unseen
behind gathered clouds-
your voice echoes everywhere
through the wind rustled pines.

Though you keep silent,
the moon passes by unseen
behind gathered clouds-
your voice echoes everywhere
through the wind rustled pines.

within the silences
all the unspoken thoughts
beating of 2 far away hearts
filling the distance between

Though you keep silent,
the moon passes by unseen
behind gathered clouds-
your voice echoes everywhere
through the wind rustled pines.

the rustled pining
shudders away the silence
sighs through naked limbs
in beg of warm reprise
of heated breath from your song

Dawn, I forget that it's winter by you which doubles up the power of your images.


Though you keep silent,
the moon passes by unseen
behind gathered clouds-
your voice echoes everywhere
through the wind rustled pines.
```````````````````````````````````
the rustled pining
shudders away the silence
sighs through naked limbs
in beg of warm reprise
of heated breath from your song

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Through naked limbs,
the brightness of the full moon
mirrors in shared gaze-
shimmers of sighs rise and fall
beneath the night's warm cover.

the moon passes by unseen
behind gathered clouds-
your voice echoes everywhere
through the wind rustled pines.

within the silences
all the unspoken thoughts
beating of 2 far away hearts
filling the distance between

Faraway hearts
beat together as one
in thoughts shared-
both spoken and unspoken
as ocean waves rise and fall.
