The Solace of Silence

Breaking the long silence that held sway,
your sudden entrance has truly
startled my composed self.

At your touch, in my thoughts—
my enchanted heart surrenders...
for which patience blazes, memory monuments exaggerate.

To convey the comfort of soundlessness, the sweetness of silence
your wandering through this room becomes inevitable, because
in this moment the most intuitive resolve
has gathered in consciousness's orbit, on exaggeration's journey—
in such untroubled devotion to the beloved
your heart will be satisfied without hesitation.
