I've been here forever
and you know it,
you do not open your eyes,
you breath gently in my breathe
still night outside
and we wait
peacefully
we wait in silence
we wait
what a great gift!

I smile,
I do not open my eyes
I breath gently in your breathe
then I salute you and I listen carefully
I listen
listening is a song
a sacred art
so special and unique

I'm here
and you know it
I 'm here weak and fragile
you can see my thoughts
lightly floating
in the sea of dreams
free!

only God, and us, know
the right gifts of awakening
forgiveness, listening
and compassion,
all in one verse,
in one direction
what a beautiful ode to joy
and what a salvation for our world!

and now
silence please!
the new day is already at the door
our fragile and precarious forever
is out there
waiting for us

but at nightfall
our tender and eternal now,
built on an hand reaching out and a smile
will join us
in the silence
again,
and evermore
