My Love

Sometimes late at night, as the eerie silence roars
I hear a voice in the dark, an echo of only yours
A chorus of beauty and strength, a ballad from you to me
It gives me vision and sight, the power to truly see

Even when lost in the shadows, I no longer feel any fear
In the blinding absence of light, my view is crystal clear
My eyes are no longer needed to see your beautiful shine
I feel every beat of your heart, it’s always right here with mine

You are the light of my life, thank you for all that you do
My heart will always be grateful for loving and holding you
I promise to always love you, in my heart you’ll forever be
With or without my eyes, it’s only you that I can see

Your oxymorons “silence roars’ and ‘blinding absence of light” captivate attention Mark. Congratulations on your wonderful win. Blessings xxoo
