Our Walk Even In Silence Poem by Raj Arumugam

It will be good now
the two of us to walk
through the rye fields
the trees standing above
as guides
to the golden promise
of the end of the walk


come, let us go now
on our walk in customary silence
side by side


and though we may not
have much to say
the silences and the air
and the scents that arise in the fields
these and the clear open skies
that cover the lands
when we emerge at the other end
will give us hope,
fill us with cheer

when we emerge at the other end
