As soft as the evening breeze
that trembles through the tallest trees
as meditative as your words allow,
entwined and tangled in these Summer days.
The crystal clarity in your eyes
tell more in a dear face of courage,
than the gentleness of your silence.
Not so much now a belligerent waging war
nor a stricken fight,
just a gentle silence that goes on into the night.
Words are difficult for you to find
It does not matter for I don't mind,
the gentleness of your silence is far more
than feckless words that blow in the Summer wind.
The brushstrokes of our life unfold clearly
as you focus daily to capture strength,
this Summer of endless joys
nothing more is needed,
no more
than the gentleness of your silence...

Susie, this is beautiful! You both are so very lucky to have each other...and to love each other so much!
@ Thank you dear Elizabeth for your kind words that support us so.
@ theprovidencefireman - thank you for your most sincere comment. The fight for Hamada continues as we yearn for more time together. Life at the moment is calm, as there is a gap during these Summer months with Chemotherapy; which is a joy.
My very best wishes and much praise to you all for the awesome work you do.
Lovely poem. Yes, please visit me again at Delights of the Heart.
What a beautiful poem...
A tender, loving poem that does the heart good with its honesty.
There is strength in acceptance, and peace in silence, and happiness in memories and contentment, even in the darkest days.
You and Hamada are courageous beyond words, and an inspiration to me.
Prayers sent up, for you and Hamada. Your love is a beautiful thing to witness.
