…two thoughts
An ocean of sand
from a desert yet uncrossed
whose trackless waves
deceive even the night
rivers of fire and water
cut their channels
across my way
each fathoms deep
gentle undulations
between two thoughts
timelessly traversed
nurtured by silence
in stillness
and solitude
unheard music
fills the vacant space
immense seas
of shoreless night
infinitely starred
and empty
and in every star
in every grain of sand
there is such silence
just aching to be heard
