My Home

I have heard the heartbeat of our souls
inlaid in quiet renderings of love's
gentle looks of comfort from the unspoken word
that echo through the rush of time passing unseen
by love's eyes that are caressed by beauty
from coupled hands held firm
as we search the wondrous wanderings of our tomorrows
in silent steps of unison on our journey through life

Where our grateful hearts are free from mundane concerns
from life's continuous drama
for we are secured by the tether of unconditional love
shared without fear of its breaking
as we hold no anger beyond its time
finding the truth to be self-evident

We are enraptured by love's colors
seen through the prism of our hearts
that dance to the melody of grace
across the stable floors of trust and forgiveness
lit by the glorious light of understanding
that when we are together...we are home
