Forget the words I speak...even as they
leave my lips.

Only silence falls holy across
the ears.

If I whisper...do not listen.

It's the breath alone that fills the
space between us.

There are times when words may fail in
their expression.

And the stillness before a touch...is the
only truth we know.

Ahhhh, Merlin!

I believe "someone" once told me that the breath always knows...

...and, the stillness is the true master.  

Of course, this is exquisite, as usual.

Love and Light...jc

This I know as Truth...we are all Beings of Light.

I love the thoughts you expressed with this one. I believe true emotion is always felt more than heard..
Love, Serena

Beyond the sound
of your voice
I cherish the thought
of silence
holding all the
unspoken words,
all the tunes of love
conceived
not in the mind
but in the heart
and forever
clearly recorded
by the immortal soul.

... nonetheless
I still long
to hear your voice ...


Thank you dear Eric for sharing your deep and wondrous soul-talk.
I love you, Margherita
