There Are Men Too Gentle To Live With Wolves
James Kavanaugh
Soft and Silent
Everything I love is soft and silent
My cat, the morning, the end of the day
even the moon in its way
Everything I love is soft and silent
The water, the forest, the snow at play
Even the mountain in its way
Everything I love is soft and silent
The sun on the sand, a rainy day
Even the wind in its way
Everything I love is soft and silent
The grass, the brook, the leaves at play
Even you in your way
it's always
you stalking my mind
like the rain
pelting down
disappearing with sunshine
respite for a while
