if you.........

 

if you speak me into the silent world

I will overburden it with verbal branches

cluttering clarity with denseless density

just to scythe for the obscured truths

 

if you dance me into the darkened light

i will shine it's shamelessness into shadow

dwell lingering in found enlightenment

just to provide the paradox a birth name

 

if you touch me into touchlessness

I will retouch it's distance with sight

paint by the numbers of numblessness

just to bind farlessness to its presence

 

if you sing me into songlessness

I will compose accompanying chords

give harmony to the unheardlessness

just to separate the unity of the choir

 

if you love me into lovelessness

I will seek to rewrite the wrong of right

find words to fill the wordlessness

just to grasp the hidden from my hold
