China Jon's Syncretic Journal

An American in China

In the Silence

I heard you in the silence,
on your tip-toes, soft and dear.
I heard you in the darkness,
your whisper warm and near.

I saw you in the shadows,
your face was my desire.
I saw you in the moonlight,
beyond the moon lit flower.

I walked to you in shadows,
and when the raindrops fell.
I ran to you in sunshine,
and heard a silver bell.

Upon your finger I put a ring,
when the chorus stood and watched.
I learned the meaning of forever,
when your loving heart I touched.

Thanks to KellyMy Garden

My lover is like a gazelle
or a young stag.
Here he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattices.

My lover speaks; he says to me,
"Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one,
and come!

For see, the winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.

The flowers appear on the earth,
the time of pruning the vines has come,
and the song of the dove is heard in our land.

The fig tree puts forth its figs,
and the vines, in bloom, give forth fragrance.
Arise, my beloved, my beautiful one,
and come!

O my dove in the clefts of the rock,
in the secret recesses of the cliff,
Let me see you,
let me hear your voice,
For your voice is sweet,
and you are lovely.
