Your phrases drift with gentle weight
Carrying truths I never state
Meaning shimmers in the space
Between each breath your lips embrace
Silent notes beneath your tone
Echo where I stand alone
In the pauses soft and slight
Something holy touches night
Your calm unravels guarded threads
Lifting burdens from my head
I learn to rest to understand
Held within your open hand
Speak again by candle flame
Let my fear forget its name
Love grows strongest undeterred
In the tenderness between your words
