There is this feeling left
   a sort of emptiness

when your words are not heard

    Silence now beckons to me

come sit in this solitude
and quiet of moment.....


I can feel you there,
but also here
held in hush
of serene breeze.

     Sometimes this silence deafens me

just one word.....

   and a longing felt
to hear the song
in your voice
and look into the softness
of eyes that see
      the all of me

tenderly sharing moments
of tranquility

that would replace this stale air
    that I now inhale....

captured within your gaze
revived in the beauty of your spirit
warmed from your light

and in your kiss
    finding the first breath
             of new life that I breathe...

~ Your longing is felt!

Thank you for "tenderly sharing moments
of tranquility"

May the air that you breathe be like the first breath of spring.

Hug with love,
