Dec 2010
At a time when warmth had taken leave
and emptiness abounded;
At a place where feelings had no home
and stability was unfounded.
An existence where all faith seemed lost
and hope no longer sounded;
I caught but just a glimpse of love
with a soft, white, light around it.

The light was never constant;
it just flickered now and then
but in the darkness while it shone,
I sensed it's energy within.

I began to greet the darkness,
no longer dreading night.
I'd look upon the empty space
and know that there is light.

Closer to my heart that light
would get with each new day,
and soon my soul was wrapped in love
in such a tender way.

I could not feel his body
yet, he held me in his arms.
I could not hear his whisper
yet, he soothed me with his charm.

He could not see my loving eyes
yet, he softly dried my tears.
He knew not where my pillow lay
yet, he knew that I was near.

Where two souls meet and join in heart
there is singing from above,
and Eden is created
within this silent love.
