Uttered Silence

         by

There is no need for words between us.
The heart sees clearly what ears could never hear.
A touch, a glance, a silent pause
Hold meaning for the kindred soul to read.

When loyalty passed the test of courage
And friendship proved a stronger bond than blood,
The clasp of hands, a quiet smile
Gave comfort to an aching soul in need.

There is no need for words between us,
For our friendship has been tempered by our past. 
Through loss and love, through laughter shared,
Our trust became the center of our creed.

There is no need for words between us.
When heart can speak to heart, and soul to soul.
Side-by-side we move, in true accord,
Neither friend to follow nor to lead. 

There is no need for words between us.
The heart sees clearly what ears could never hear.
A touch, a glance, a silent pause
Hold meaning for the kindred soul to read.
