An unvoiced ode

In the silence of the world,
I was afraid,
The quiet seemed ever so noisy to me.
And then I heard a faint heartbeat,
Your heart beating within me,
A sweet pleasant sound,
Like a lullaby easy on the ear,
It drove away my fears
And lulled me to sleep
In a slumber ever so pure.

In the darkness of the world,
I was afraid,
The shadows seemed like monsters.
And then I saw a bright light,
Your love overflowing for me,
A beautiful heavenly light,
Like the sun mounting from the horizon,
It drove away my terrors,
And filled me with new vigour,
And a desire to live again.


In the noise of this world,
I was afraid,
The clamour deafened my soul.
And then I heard your dulcet voice,
Your soothing words of reassurance for me,
An angel’s promise that all will be well,
Like a nightingale in the midst of a burnt forest,
It drove away my sorrows,
And made me face with valour
Challenges ever so many to the world.


No matter how much I say this,
I could never be able to repay you in full,
So take this as but a part of my offerings,
I love you, and I can say no more...
