When a drop of silence
Ripples the surface of the swelling sea
Will the waters o'erflow?
When it rests on the bed below
Will the earth's skin quiver?
When a drop of silence
Like a lonely prayer
Like an only wish
Is immersed in the waves
Will my tears flow
By the sea at dawn?
My footprints on the sand
Making tracks through gleaming trees
Hair blown back
Lost for words
Silenced by the unreasoning sea
When I come to kneel on the shore
Will the waters o'erflow
Will the tide
At least
Be kind
A single drop of silence
Enters the sea
From utter sadness
A single
Drop.
