My love for you is undaunted by your silence (draft)

with appreciation to pablo neruda...


I am undaunted by your silence
It is like the night sky
Beautiful, full of mystery,


I am undaunted by your silence
It is as though you were asleep in my bed
And you cannot speak

I am undaunted by your silence
It is as if you were far away
And my voice does not reach you.

I am undaunted by your silence
It is as if you do not know the right words to say
And you are thinking.

I am undaunted by your silence
It is as if you are weeping and cannot speak
And I am on the other side of your door.

Let me come to be still in your silence
To gaze into your mystery
To watch you as you sleep
To draw near to your faraway place
To find the right words to say
To open your door.
