Had I Never Stopped Poem by Barry Middleton

Had I Never Stopped

Rating: 5.0


had I never stopped
I never would have heard
never would have learned

she heeded more than words
she listened with her eyes
with her heart

now I can hear the silence
I taste her kiss on the wind
I know the music of her touch

take away my sight
and yet I shall see the night
the resonance of stars

take away the darkness
and in that wordless void
I join the beauty of her soul

A great work of art, a feeling of eternity, of a moment of happiness that never shall fade...
