Let's Breath In Silence, Love

Gren's Evergreens (Golden Oldies) # 1 - Poetry Contest Sponsor: Teppo Gren I chose the song: "Speak Softly Love by Andy Williams" PART I: The original lyrics "Speak Softly Love" Speak softly, love And hold me warm against your heart I feel your words The tender trembling moments start We're in a world, our very own Sharing a love that only few have ever known Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love We make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly love Wine-colored days warmed by the sun Deep velvet nights when we are one Speak softly, love So no one hears us but the sky The vows of love we make will live until we die My life is yours and all because You came into my world with love so softly love ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PART II - My poem "Let's Breath In Silence, Love" Let’s breath in silence, love… and take me to far away distant lands, our souls, the Lord has given from above, gently, my love, walk with me hand in hand. May our stillness devour the days of calamity, let’s breath in silence, love… while the Lord gives us mercy in our humanity, flying freely through the sky like a dove. We vowed compassion when days are rough, so let’s soothe together during turbulent hours, let’s breath in silence, love… and stay calm, while our peace is showered. Speak softly, love, our placid moments are here, our tenderness of tranquility is never enough, while our silence soars through the atmosphere, let’s breath in silence, love… Date Written: April 9, 2016

Hi Luloo, a wonderful Quatern you have written here. Congratulations on your win in the contest. I think Speak Softly Love is the favourite song for this contest. I enjoyed this write Laura. A beautiful poem for your Love, and in writing such a beautiful poem it gives us a chance to see this romance also. Let your heart sing my friend. This goes into my faves and it has to be a seven.
