Love speaks,
but love is also silent.
Silent enough to listen,
when you hurt through and through,
Silent enough to hold you,
silent enough to kiss you,
silent enough to stay,
just when you need it most.
Because love is silent…
It does not yell nor scream,
but listens to your deepest dreams.
In times of darkness,
it is there,
allowing your heart to rest,
and it does it best,
to give you space and time.
O, how we need its silence,
when we are guilty and ashamed,
and we know we are to blame,
but instead of reprimands,
love is silent and understands.
And without speaking a word,
it consoles your heart and soul.
In compassion and in trust,
it raises you when you feel small.
And it gives it all,
in the silence of love you are cherished,
In the silence of love you are seen,
There is no need to run away,
or hide or turn around,
Love remains though love is silent,
and it will never let you down.
Jocelyn Soriano wrote the books “Poems of Love and Letting Go” and “Of Wave and Butterflies: Poems on Grief”.
