I believe in all the silent words

I believe in all the silent words that have never been said.

My longing is pure. I want to set it free

so that which no one has dared to ask before

will come to me, on its own, without coaxing.

Tell me, Universe, is this too much to ask?

If so, forgive me.

But let me say to you before I go:

I want the force of me to be unstoppable,

no holding back, no expectations,

Love in a rush, like children love,

freely flowing, streaming everywhere,

like no one has or will again,

full-hearted, arms flung wide,

sung to you at the top of my lungs into the open sea.
