Listening to silence, love often speaks
in ways words cannot express.
Hearing what’s unsaid, it reveals itself,
the gentle art of quiet presence.
When words fail to comfort the ache,
a hug soothes the heart instead.
Found in the simple act of being,
joy lives beyond what language says.
On long days filled with longing and silence,
memories of 20 questions linger.
Indeed, love is knowing this truth:
it lives in presence, in touch, in time.
in ways words cannot express.
Hearing what’s unsaid, it reveals itself,
the gentle art of quiet presence.
When words fail to comfort the ache,
a hug soothes the heart instead.
Found in the simple act of being,
joy lives beyond what language says.
On long days filled with longing and silence,
memories of 20 questions linger.
Indeed, love is knowing this truth:
it lives in presence, in touch, in time.
This piece explores the quiet ways love speaks when words are not enough. Through simple acts of presence and touch, the poem reflects on how true connection is often found in the unsaid moments—those that linger in silence and linger in our hearts. A tribute to the deep, unspoken understanding between people, it speaks to the healing power of being present with one another.
