Wordlessly

                                                                  

 

How we could have existed for so many years,

Striven so feverishly, frenetically, to belong to someone,

And yet missed discovering that the essence of love —

The coalescence of disparate spirits —

Is a conundrum which persists in astonishing us

Even when, in naked embrace,

Gazing through the space separating our faces

(A distance measured in feelings of complete trust),

We kiss each other's lips, whisper wordless "yes"s.

 

It's in those throes of tear-welling togetherness

That the conundrum becomes irrelevant

And we breathe the sweet harmony

That eludes souls who, sensing love's impossibility,

Nonetheless continue searching for someone

With whom to transcend loneliness

And murmur, wordlessly, "Yes...yes...yes."
