When Love Comes

When Love comes,

Words vanish,

Their presence:

A distraction;

Love shining,

Past Light & Dark,

A spectacle,

An eternity:

Unshakable,

Complete,

Outside criticism,

Needing nothing,

Perfect & whole,

Teaching by presence,

Its touch: lesson enough;

As It fades:

Memory straining,

Trying to hold,

. what slips away,

A sigh,

An awe,

Muscles trembling,

Tears hanging,

Leaving only silence:

A tribute to Its Gift.

I'm an integrative veterinarian interested in healing. I'd prefer to speak in poetry as we awaken the #HealingCommunity. Let's play together.
