I’ve found it,
The perfect gift for you.
It shimmers like the autumn evening
And falls like majestic rain.
It rings in my ears
Like the road beneath the wind
And the shadows of eventide.
It sings
Like a caged bird
Longing for something more
Than echos of familiarity.
It tastes like home
The way you feel before a bonfire
Wrapped in my arms.
It smells like afternoon
Before the traffic starts
And food shops hustle before the rush.
It looks like everything you’ve given me
And all the unspoken words I’ve kept inside.
It both describes you
And fits my tongue
Like everything you should have heard before.
I was mute
And this is my abstinence from silence.
