I asked Silence
What was reason
Is it the same as meaning?
Surely, it couldn't be.
This meaning
Beating
Wild in this chest
What reason
Would exist
To keep this meaning
So shy?
Do we curl in around ourselves
Terrified
That no one could understand
What it is
We hold inside?
Waiting for a hint
Or some sign
That this
Right Now
Could be that time
That it All
Falls
Right
Into
Place
...
I asked Silence
What was reason?
Is it an excuse
Some logical defense
To play it safe
To not jump into Life
and Love
and all of the unknown
Dripping off the edges
Of all the words unsaid
All the tomorrows
Waiting to be found
...
I asked Silence
The meaning of reason
And she smiled
Into the corners of all these thoughts
Twisting and turning
Dancing around my mind
Her giggle tickled the doubt
that tried to take the stage in my head
Right out
And Silence
Remained
Ever
True
...
