Next to a silver river, a clear stream <br />you were dreaming against a willow, <br />with a small smile, silent and satisfied <br />as if something great happened in the past <br />when your bright eyes suddenly caught mine, <br />words hang silently between us. <br /> <br />In your eyes light sparkled like stars, <br />a leave fell and glided away <br />when suddenly a plover called from the marsh <br />with others answering from far away <br />when your bright eyes suddenly caught mine, <br />words hang silently between us. <br /> <br />Where the water flows endlessly <br />you got quickly to your feet, <br />your glance went deep into my soul <br />and we could not evade our feelings, <br />when your bright eyes suddenly caught mine, <br />words hang silently between us.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-silence-hanged-wordless-between-us/
