Speak softly to me

When the earth is blackened

and vespers are sung by angels

to the enlightened heart

 

Speak softly to me

When the sun is fighting its descent

and the moon is bursting with secrets

 

The strong night wind is moving  the spirit

inside  me

 

Hidden in my silence

are my desires

and my  fears

 

Speak softly to me

until I can no longer hear your voice

and all I remember is your words

As you hurry to some distant future

 

Speak softly to me

Until you are gone
