You are so different
in so many ways than I

Your love has a strength
as I have never known
A quiet love that is stronger
than the loudest sound
stronger than the greatest strength

You speak volumes in your silence....
with your eyes seeming to pierce into my very soul.....
your embrace.....your touch.....
No need for spoken words at times like this
for we hear through the powerful feel of
Through the deep communication of
where no words are needed

You are so different
in so many ways than I
Yet.....
we are so much the same person....

ethel, your poetry has grown more and more
in its depth of feeling and truth within the words, very expressive here

Oh Ethel...this is exquisite.   I agree...your poetry has taken on a new depth that is absolutely wonderful.

And on a side note...
You are as beautiful as I thought you would be.  This is the first time I saw your picture.  Unfortunately, I don't get the opportunity to visit Passions as much as I would like.  I have to get back here more often to read your work and watch your growth!

Goodness your good!

Well spoken Ethel,  I know of one who is
much the same.  Such a gift we are given.

Ethel...it's been a while since I've read anything you've written and I'm amazed at how you've grown as a poet in that time. It helps to be here and experience the wisdom of perhaps some of the greatest poets alive today doesn't it? Well done

Sweet Ethel, you speak the truth of a wonderful bond of love which is beyond the need of definition. It IS and your hearts know.
Very elegantly written.
Love and hugs. Margherita

ethel,
  Your poem tripped along so gracefully.  I like it all, but especially "A quiet love that is stronger
than the loudest sound"  I knew someone like that.

Ethel, your writing here was so special and touched a spot of memory deep within me.  I have witnessed a quiet strength such as this and it was beautiful, like your writing.   ....jo
