Dance of Silence

Between the words we speak,

The ambiguity asserts itself

In the lack we try to conceal

Through the flow of conversation.

 

Here truth always lives anew:

Dancing from one lie to the next

Escaping the stability created

By arguments that struggle to their next conclusion.

 

Absorbed by these false summits,

Meaning slips away

As we look past its fleeting visage

Towards the endless climb ahead.

 

But these lies give understanding

About the truth they conceal:

About the falsity of our self-imprisonment

Within the differences we’ve created.

 

So when I tell you this love is infinite

Do not ponder the meaning of the words

But let them go in silence:

Free yourself and dance with me.
