A silence with you
Is not
a silence

But a moment rich
with peace

The refreshing drink clears my throat
Clears my worries
Clears my head
Many adults may use water
And yet, I utilize the one pertaining to infants
For although I may be an adult in years,
In my heart,
I am only a young girl with a thirst for cereal,
Without the cheerios

No, you're wrong.

Everyone is as beautiful
as they can possibly be

Particularly at lunch
in a laughing restaurant

Everyone is as beautiful
as they can possibly be

And they are moved
by their own beauty

And they shed tears for it
in the back of the taxi home

I feel the caress of my own fingers
on my own neck as I place my collar
and think pityingly
of the kind women I have known.

The people that come into our lives
do so for a reason
It may only be for a day or a month
or may just be for a season

But when two paths cross, no matter how brief
There's a lesson somewhere to be learned
It may be just that we're on the wrong path
and there's a corner that needs to be turned

It may be to teach us that we can still fly
and soar in the heavens above
or it may be a brief and torrid affair
to show us that we can still love

And maybe my words are speaking to you
and I'm part of some message you need
To show you the signs that surround you
so between the lines you can read.
