Investigate every murmur The whisper for you to notice The grapevine, the leaf, the lotus My call to your inner fervor Masticate every crumb Every morsel of every sliver Its heartbeats, a rhythmic quiver My heart will secede, succumb Enunciate every secret The words that together bind The mute, the deaf, the blind Ere my inner self forget Elaborate every phrase For love can grow weak and slow Left behind, lost like white in snow A cloud lost in fog and haze And the loneliness we forfeited That we waived all these years We can wave to as eyes to tears Lips to kisses, and thoughts to fears
