"The Treasure Held in Silence"

As love passes through
the veins of those
who believe
A beautiful formation
rises beyond all dreams
merging into a flame
brighter than all stars

I once danced atop the moon
in silvery shoes so light
my feet never touched the ground

His hand in mine, I embraced
something-
not defined by mere words
An embodiment of everything
I'd ever held in my heart
and everything held in a future
with such luminous hope

Days have flown cautiously
and I dare to fly
as love endures, still
in a savage grip beyond
understanding

Time cannot parch the river
when the soul still holds
in silence-
the treasure...
