may we draw quiet

exist in silence

center

on one another's being

i like being with you

in your presence   by you   near you

words

may be a distraction

i want the essence

may we walk to the hilltop meadow  

lie upon our backs

gaze into the blue

may we walk through the gallery   

without comment

may we enjoy our nearness and silence   

and let our nearness and silence speak for itself

later   when the moment has passed   

may we speak of things that matter   and do not
