Like trying to hold water in my fist
Like trying to trap sunshine in my eyes
Like trying to bottle the morning breeze
Like trying to ride the clouds floating by
Silence is that water
That sunshine
That breeze
Around me always
But not caught with ease
Rewarding, not testing
Mocking nor sad
Wise and warm
Fulfilled and glad
The slow kiss of wine
The baring of soul
The glow of embers
The melting of gold
Silence teases and laughs
In wins and fails
Shows glimpses of self
Like the falling of veils
For I have now tasted
The silence of enough
I am hopelessly lost
Searching the rough
To know it once
Even just for a breath
Like having tasted blood
Like defying death
Searching and trying
To capture it again
Silence eludes me
I wander insane
