We sat on the porch
listening to the quiet
as the rain gently
punctured the still water,
slowly, we breathed in the peace
and shared solitude,
appreciating the magic
and wonder of it all ...
gifting our souls with time
to just sit and savor the moment
before sharing what hearts share
when they feel safe,
the fears, the pain, the loss,
the sweetness, the hopes,
two hearts
listening to the quiet,
wrapped safely
in the arms of love...
