Whisper

Shhhh I whisper in your ear
A dance in the park at night
Every touch, so slow that it lasts forever
Don't you know that it is the wind that blows to bring us here?
Were you worried we wouldn't arrive?

Shhhh do not say a word
It is the moment of life where everything is
Every word, offensive to its beauty
Don't you know it is the sun that shines to lead us here?
Were you worried we wouldn't arrive?

Shhhh I put my finger on your lips
The cool grass embracing our bodies
Every look, lifting you out of any misery
Don't you know that it is the earth that turns to get us here?
Were you worried we wouldn't arrive?

Shhhh close your eyes and listen
It is the song of life that is playing tonight
Every tone, inviting us to swim in its freedom
Don't you know that this is where life leads you to?
Were you worried you wouldn't arrive?

Shhhh let it last. It is life's secret.
