I Heard You Then In My Consciousness. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

I heard you then in my Consciousness.
i sang a song
in your presence.
It made You smile.

Listening to my songs
You smiled in silence.

You looked at me
keenly as i sang.
But You were silent.

i saw tears
down your cheeks
as i sang.
But You were silent.

i saw my songs
kissing your silence.

i saw my songs
touching your lips
yearning for a word.
But You were silent.

Then you took me in a small boat
under the silent shine of the moon
into the heart of the vast ocean
until the ocean was shoreless.

There you whispered me to sing.

In the midst of the shoreless ocean
in the small boat
i sang; i sang only for you.

You listened with smiling eyes.

Then you raised your hands
and the waves rose up.
You danced in the boat.
The waves danced with you.

i sang and sang
till my songs danced with the waves and You.

i heard you then
in my consciousness.
You broke your silence
deep down in my soul.

I fainted.
