Edwin Hofert Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Silent Secrets

Silent Secrets. Rumi

First time I ever saw you
I could not say a word.
But somehow in that moment
my love is what you heard.

So drawn to one another
and the love we'd come to know.
Hidden in the silence
was the love that we watched grow.

Times of hardship found us
with sadness and with gloom.
We found the comfort needed.
A single look across the room.

Surely there were whispers
like promises we made.
But it's in the silent secrets
that I would never trade.

The way our souls connected
and the love that we had found.
The words of love we shared
when we never made a sound.

Like a flower loves the sunshine
and a dream loves coming true.
That's the way you love me
and the way that I love you.
