Softly

Communication, life, and death. What else?

If you come as softly As the wind within the trees You may hear what I hear See what sorrow sees.

If you come as lightly As threading dew I will take you gladly Nor ask more of you.

You may sit beside me Silent as a breath Only those who stay dead Shall remember death.

And if you come I will be silent Nor speak harsh words to you. I will not ask you why now. Or how, or what you do.

We shall sit here, softly Beneath two different years And the rich between us Shall drink our tears.

Song written by Kasper using the poem "If You Come Softly" by Audre Lorde as the lyrics
