Silent Creed Poem by Michelle Hyde

Silver shadows swim through my mind,
I think of love lost,
It passed tests no matter what the cost,
How different is my love,
Easily I hide my feelings,
White and frail; it is like a dove,
Secretly I lie to my inner being,
How patient you are my sweet,
Your beauty you can not hide,
You hum along to a silent beat,
You know the truth behind every lie,
Be thou my love indeed,
I sing you this silent creed.
