We Already Knew

I took your hand as we walked through vermillion twilight In what seemed an ancestral place, in our sight Where a menagerie of mockingbirds softly talked From the frangipani branches, as we walked The pellucid water in the cove brought clarity to share In the luscious taste of love, nothing could compare Infused by trust, acceptance and knowing Nothing can destroy what this beauty is showing Ripples of affection, held a million words We already knew, what didn’t need to be heard Heidi Sands 1/7/18 Placed 2nd in the 10 words 10 Lines Contest.
