And yet this unexplainable distance
the roar of this deafening silence
sudden chasm that widens and separates
the gnawing in my heart unexpressed
What must I do my love to come closer
how wish a ropeway heart to heart bridge
as this Everest of yearning silently grows
and yet the chasm of silence widens on.
