When I can hear you--what you be-
              What lives most deeply in you-
When your hearing speeds

the beating of life in me—

then our meeting is a song,

            and harmony invades our silences,

            and all the language that we know

            is love.

 

                      In fact,

                      loving is

                      a language

                      of the ear—

 

not so much words you use

not the thoughts I share

 

                      but

                      how urgently

                      we tune ourselves

                      to the meaning

                      of each other.
