Sacred Silence

Speak in whispered tones

To match the sacred silence

I can only see your face

By the flickering candlelight

It shadows your face

Allowing me to breathe in your essence

A single rose lies beside your letter

That expresses so much

And now you simply sit

Face calm and serene

Allowing me to judge

All that you are

I whisper in hushed tones

To respect the sacred silence

“I do believe I love you…”
