Without A Sound

In the hush, if you're quiet,

No epic to pen,
no long-winded tale,
for all of my chatter,
briefness prevails.

A thousand times, more,
I've tried to say
something so simple,
no words in the way.

So plainly I'll state
what, to me, is so clear,
I love how you listen
to my silence and hear.

With a touch, I can sense
what's unspoken, unsaid,
arms tight around me,
heart goes where you've led.

With gentle reminders,
as night's shadows fall,
you speak volumes of feelings
saying nothing at all.

I love that you see
what's not plainly in sight,
soft, like a candle,
you light up my life.

Your eyes say the words
that I long to hear,
whispering to me,
"I love you, my dear."

I'm certain of one thing,
No words could convey
Or give meaning to
What my heart has to say.

In the hush, if you're quiet,
the truth becomes clear,
there are sounds in a silence
only true love can hear.
