Day 24
Song of Silence
When the heavens lean down to Earth
and time loses its rushing sound,
when the heart no longer seeks to flee
from the emptiness it has found –
Then love becomes a breath,
clothing the night in quiet peace,
a star that stays small and near
yet feeds all that’s vast with ease.
And peace arrives, like a light
that knows no shadows, only bright.
von Hilde Domin freely translated
