Silent Peak

I am left alone here on Silent Peak
Without your words I'm not known
For inside the meaning of words the spirits speak
But without them I'm left up here alone.

Alone to face the exhausted sun
Who won't respond to my call
For its work has long been done
And doesn't speak a word at all.

All I want is for a word to come
So my mind may rest in peace
Upon the image of a great sum
Of beauty I have found.

So if you read this please come forth
And say the word I want to hear
So my compass that never points North
Can show me how to walk away this year.

Is it a surprise or a bit confusing?
Was there something else in mind?
Did you think I would reply with longing
Or put myself in a bind?

Yes, it's true, I wish for a word unspoken
From a girl who is uncared
Because whatever heart left for her is broken
And can never be repaired.

And as I make my way down Silent Peak
I turn to take in one more look there
And to say that now as I speak
No change shall ever appear.

To the one who shall not ever speak
To the one with the forgotten voice
I leave the shattered remains at the peak
And walk through the trees that rejoice.
