Refugees of Reason

Love is the silence

As the sun's mute rays pour silently through
the windows of our home to wrap and warm me,
love is the silence all around even in your absence.
And as the sun remains at night, though I cannot see it,
like your love, I trust it's there, and will return
in all its life sustaining glory to renew the earth
as you renew my heart upon advent, and shine
your brilliant star upon my face, nurturing me,
preserving me, and strengthening me
as we navigate this world together.
