Let’s Walk Silently

 Let’s Walk Silently

Let’s not speak today—
not because there’s nothing to say,
but because
everything has already been said
somewhere deeper.

Come,
walk beside me—
no need to match steps,
no need to arrive.

Let the road
be our only conversation.

The wind will pass between us,
carrying what we don’t express.
Leaves will answer
in a language older than thought.

If our hands touch—
let it be accidental,
like two moments
briefly agreeing to meet.

No questions,
no stories,
no need to explain
who we are today.

Just this—
two shadows
moving in the same direction,
not trying to understand
why.

And if at some turn
you choose a different path,
I will not call you back.

Because this silence—
this quiet companionship—
asks for nothing,
holds nothing,
keeps nothing.

Yet somehow,
it leaves behind
a fullness
words could never carry.
