Description
In the depth of my soul there is a wordless song
a song that lives in the seed of my heart.
It refuses to melt with ink on parchment
it engulfs my affection in a transparent cloak
and flows but not upon my lips.
How can I sigh it
I fear it may mingle with earthly ether
To whom shall I sing it
It dwells in the house of my soul . in fear of harsh ears
When I look into my inner eyes
I see the shadow of its shadow
When I touch my fingertips
I feel its vibrations
The deeds of my hands heed its presence as a lake must reflect the glittering stars
My tears reveal it . as bright drops of dew reveal the secret of a rose
It is a song composed by contemplation
And published by silence
And shunned by clamor
And folded by truth
And repeated by dreams
And understood by love
And hidden by awakening
And sung by the soul
It is the song of love
It is more fragrant than jasmine
What voice could enslave it
It is heartbound . as a virgin's secret
What string could quiver it
Who dares unite the roar of the sea and the singing of the nightingale
Who dares compare the shrieking tempest to the sigh of an infant
Who dares speak aloud the words intended for the heart to speak
What human dares sing in voice the song of God -- Khalil Gibran
