Hidden

The stir of a love song
whispers across midnight,
blending times present-
times past,
punctuating the softness
of a silence belonging to memories
locked away,
hidden within heartbeats . . .

whispering a sudden longing
for a time before the time
when innocence pirouettes
on the moment of passion,
and all songs stop.

A beautiful poem, Chetta. So many wonderful lines. This one grabbed me: "...hidden within heartbeats..." I love that!

This is a FAVE for me, Chetta. Just love the feeling of 'all songs stop.' Thanks, Gershon
