until you.

Why do we speak in hushed whispers
when the world is locked away
and the only sounds are the
beats of our hearts?

Perhaps the sacredness of what is
spoken absorbs sound and carries it away.
Maybe we fear the spell will be broken
and what we hold right then and there
will be pulled from us and shattered.

Even movement is muted
and the light changed
when our tones are meant for
only our ears.

Living out
and dreaming in
takes us to places
we never knew existed.

This is where
worlds collided
and
life changed.

We fly over the crowds
together
with happy minds and
wake with delightful vengeance
to take the next breath
and seek the next
luminous traces of rays
that stream randomly on
shadows of yesterday,
faces of tomorrow,
and
joys of today.



love was just a word
until hushed tones
and you.
