Joining The Dots
[Intro]
I left part of the picture unfinished
Not because the answer was missing
Because something in you
Already knew where the line continued
[Verse]
A tree never explains its roots
When it places fruit into your hand
It does not describe the darkness
Or the water moving through its centre
It does not ask you to understand the leaf
Before receiving what the light became
You taste the outcome
And somewhere beneath language
Your body recognises life
[Pre-Chorus]
I only placed a few points
In their proper relationship
The rest appeared
Without being drawn
[Chorus]
You knew what wasn’t said
You heard the shape
That silence made around the words
Recognition entered first
And waited for the mind to follow
I did not fill in the blanks
Your own heart
Remembered what belonged there
[Interlude]
[Verse]
One person entered through a song
Another stood before an image
And became still
Someone found the pattern
In the chambers of a living cell
Someone watched a butterfly open its wings
And understood the whole journey
Different doors
The same room becoming visible
Different fragments
Returning to a picture
Nobody had shown them
[Pre-Chorus]
The fruit carried something hidden
A structure folded into sweetness
The seed said nothing
It waited
For the right conditions
[Chorus]
You knew what wasn’t said
You heard the shape
That silence made around the words
Recognition entered first
And waited for the mind to follow
I did not fill in the blanks
Your own heart
Remembered what belonged there
[Bridge]
Persuasion occupies every space
It explains
Repeats
Insists
Until there is nowhere left
For another person to exist
Recognition leaves the door open
It does not pull you through
It places a light beyond the threshold
And trusts the instrument inside you
Some truths arrive as information
Others arrive
As the end of forgetting
[Breakdown]
No instruction
No demand
No borrowed conclusion
Only a pattern
Becoming clear
Inside the one
Who was looking
[Final Chorus]
You knew what wasn’t said
The missing lines were never empty
They were waiting for your vision
To complete the relationship
Recognition entered first
Language arrived much later
And when the final point appeared
You did not say
“I have learned something new”
You whispered
“I know this”
[Outro]
The tree offered fruit
The fruit carried a seed
The seed carried a forest
In a language without words
I left part of the picture unfinished
And something living inside you
Filled in
Everything
I never said
