We strolled along deserted lanes
lined by straggly rubble walls,
adorned by yellow cowslips,
perfumed with early wild narcissus,
and music, a fine harmony,
performed by finches of all colours
Whilst blue **** and sparrow fly from tree to tree.
I lingered there, hoping I could get away
from the fathomless worries of the weary world,
or perhaps find rest in an eternal quietude. 

We walked hand in hand, listening to the rill
Its clear waters zigzagging downwards.
She stared at the rivulet with wonderment. 
I admired her composure, her interest
In all around her, a stoic tranquillity.    

I invited her to sit besides me on a wooden bench.
Enjoy the vast silent panorama of the countryside.
No other human could be seen in the vicinity
Except far off, a farmer tilled his field.
She put her head against my shoulder.
We uttered not one word.  It was pure bliss.
I realized love can be silent,
For utter silence is true love.

i agree with you Victor silence, being together and not saying a word but just holding hands means the world. Absolute and complete contentment, why some say to be content is boring is beyond me - content is found in silent moments of love, beautiful poem my friend. love, hugs, Jennifer.

a resplendent exuberance, bringing vibrance and meaning to life. Sentimental like early nineteen century romantics. In awe! Anaya

I agree. When two people love each other they can just sit and enjoy each other without being wordy, but there are times couples need to talk. I appreciate the visits to my page. Sara
