Beyond the Passion

Beyond the Passion,

In the space that endures,

it's the small acts of love that sweeten and deepen,

that strengthen and widen,

or perhaps

just illuminate the edges of that which,

though so well established, still grows,

in the softness of a lingering touch

or a fleeting smile that says I love you with such kindness

that it brings a tear.

or a nod that says,

thank you for the love you share

in such sweet and subtle ways my dear.

Then suddenly they are everywhere,

So Clear.

The radiant reflections of a love so near.


Inspiration / Author Note

Sometimes we grow so comfortable that we overlook the qualities of love that lie beyond the passion.
