Poem : Love is the Whisper

Love's Quiet Song

Love is the whisper in the first light of dawn,

A transient heat that keeps the night.

It's in the look that requires no speech,

A soft murmur of the heart, always reached.

It winds through laughter, gentle and unbound,

In knotted hands beside the restless sea.

It's firm in the rage of the storm's cruel sound,

The anchor dropped upon some distant shore.

No showy lightning, no brief flame,

But coals glowing softly, still the same.

In each breath, in each concern

Love is the truth we are willing to share.
