Love is...

As my heart opens wider to the world

And, sees more

Every thought, every word

Every feeling spreads over

Spreads through me

Like never before

The echo of silence

Somehow touches me deeper

Somehow resonates

With a clarity so much greater

Every second melts and combines

Dances with hands and arms interlaced,

Softly entertwined

Between you and my humble space

Peace floats gently toward me

It envelops and caresses

Washes away the aches, completely

And, I continue to stretch

I continue to reach and dream

And hope and seek

And believe in the beauty

That exists sometimes forgotten,

Sometimes hidden imperceptibly

In everything
