if you can use it with prudence
and not be confused by your desire to move
you can grow into your solitude
to believe in all you see isn't easy
we don't know much but that we must trust
in whats difficult is a truth that will never abandon us
this is the ultimate, the final task for which
human lives are still barely large enough
because if its myself i lose ill lose you too
when we can't tell whose outline is whose
with all your forces around your anxious heart
in a deep aloneness you learn loves secret
only there and then can you keep it
be yourself for me, honestly
because falsely sharing is undervaluing
who you say you love so deeply
what could you see in the broken heap
i would be if i gave myself to you
in all my confusion and called it communion
this inducement is only human
but there are signs i see, speaking and shining
that two solitudes can be at peace
and with the time to suffer they can greet one another
and as good lovers
each protect the other
