Hear

As certain as the sight of you in all
your loving whisper, close ~ as inner wall
of silence, would protect love's sane recall
a measure of appealing, serves enthrall.

I hear you ~
as before thy image scanned,
nor difficult decision, but explained
by knowing only love, resolved, restrained
the temperament of lack, its lost remain.

I hear you ~
as when feeling needs revere
your word is as a touch, so ever near
and if before a miracle was sight
now you, my understanding, move as right.

Does move ~
as all creation blesses light
you move, within my mind, in wordy might
as even just a groan, I know thy sound
revises my new being, in yours throned.

As no recovery, but a voice could stay
one word from you, so lovingly arrays,
to cover me with hope, pain gone away
and nearer meaning's hovering, trusts lay.

No lag of wonders healing can abound
you settle all the air, in your impound!
