To Speak Or Not To Speak
To speak of a longing in the quietest times,
Would erase a warmth of magical zest,
Laid down in the corridors of the endeared,
Where silence enchants, the tranquil air;
And touches the heart of the unknown friend.
To silence a longing in the rarest of times,
Would miss our strength and magical love,
Raised up in the corridors of the endeared,
Where speech still enchants electrified air;
And touches the mind of a now known friend.
