Powerful silence

Carefully, gently

proceed with loving intention

Revel, pause, understand and treasure

Every expression never mentioned.

Diligently now, do not hesitate

Any pause will cause alarm.

Confidently, quickly, assure me, silently

One moment creates a world of calm.

Be still at first, don’t turn me away

Movement suggests disdain.

Acknowledgement isn’t necessary, acceptance is,

You use your words in vain.

On the brightest days, through every thunderous rain,

There is nothing I value as much.

The quiet sincerity and attentive care,

That shines through the love language of touch.
