And collapse therein unspoken
Words burst from silence
That the message might not be broken
From you no secret is missed
For you are the revealer of wisdom
Saints befriend mystery in silence
You healer of heart so burden
But why dread my soul, Oh Silence
For like a judge in a courtroom
You sentence my heart to truth and patience
That no one escapes save the doomed
So I join the dance of silence
To roll my life from the noisy doom
For the heart of dance and the dance of heart is silence
Your dance is joy and wisdom
