This morning, let me drink the silence Let me swim in my own solitude Being the profoundest condition Of my humanity, youβd think
I should get to know her better Intimacy and silence, thatβs all There every is, I cannot often Penetrate another being with my love
Since surrender must occur mutually And there are times my emotion Does not require reciprocity This morning, let me forget about altruism
For we all deserve the dream Beyond myself, somewhere, I shall Then wait for my own arrival The slow enlightenment of lifetimes
Because two bodies, naked and entwined Soul and body, mind and heart must somehow Learn to live together and leap Over time, we are not invulnerable
However in the silence of today I realize there are no yesterdays, no names, No you and I and no tomorrow This morning, I want to give myself up To something higher than I ever was.
