In the Silence

All is silent

Save for the water gurgling

as koi surface to

have their fill

All is silent

Save for my king's

occasional squeal

of delight

As red and orange

shimmies through

the clear pond

right in front of his

very eyes

All is silent

Save for Mayas

above singing sweetly

from the nymph tree

All is silent

Save for the afternoon

sun emanating

through the clearest

skies

All is silent

Save for my voice

speaking to my king

Admonishing him

"Look, darling, fish are swimming."

All is silent

Save for my thoughts

Hoping, praying

someday, someday...

And then

He looks at me

Eyes crinkling

Mouth forming into

the biggest smile,

his arms wrapping

around me,

My king, embracing me

with all his might...

And then I fall silent

Save for the loud

beating of my heart

rendered speechless...

Clear as the

emanating sun,

words are not needed

For love is here,

Love abounds...
