Silent Now

He is silent now
I dreamed of an easy answer
A simple truth quickly told

But, He is silent now
Simply silent now
I never realized how
This silence could labor long
He is silent now
Simply silent now

How I crave Him, just a whisper in the dark
The darkness continues climbing
Climbing my thin, short walls

If He would answer, just a sweet, small breath
Nothing too invested, nothing great, just enough

Speak to me, oh please sing your dreams
I desire, your desire, so why do you hide?

But, He is silent now
Simply silent now
I never realized how
This silence could labor long
He is silent now
Simply silent now

Oh, how I long
How I simply long
