About me and words (the silence and the swallow) Words sound sweet to me rings of chain pearls of necklace to push forward slowly through fingers Friendly words they come from silence and there they go back alike the swallow that flies steady against the wind then its oblique wing and the bold dive They mean nothing all alone are empty receptacles to be filled up canvas for painting sounds to be listened to they have no meaning without our soul The swallow flies untiringly it flies designing pleasant curves and flying back Rings of an endless chain everlasting pearls of a necklace But only the silent words are appropriate to the game just those that don't affect music harmony Like the swallow motionless for an endless instant of balance steady in the wind and I can see it well white and black Because from silence I received peace and to the silence words have taken me back
