Silent Love Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Looking out beyond the skies, seeking explanations of love and not finding any.
Wondering why it is that after half your life is over, love sneaks up from behind quietly and sits on your back porch.
Trying to ignore it - keep it out of mind - only makes it stand out more - makes it more important.
If left silently, it will be, love will blend into the background of life and set you free.
Always knowing the impossibility of ever being one in love, life takes on new meanings.
As this special love is kept close and nurtured over the years in a quiet loving friendship.
