A CONFLUENCE OF DAYS, WEEKS AND YEARS

by Jonathan Vold

Friday, January 29

Ellipses

This is my dream, my satisfaction:
the only truth I can control,
 
the only way I can survive
the lonely nights, the distant silence:

I dream my song into the darkness:
forever listening, waiting,

forever calling, wondering;
I live by sending and receiving.

----

This is my song, my record keeping:
the only way I can hold you.

I send my song into the darkness
and quietly wait for your reply

And in the pause I feel the distance
as lonely as the midnight trees

But with my song I break the silence
and I can feel you close to me.
