No One Else Could Hear
We met through an acquaintance
a Cretan from the age of men
behaving badly
Through poetry and books, it began
a struggle of wills and spirits
tamed but never broken
Kindred lives of dishearted souls
who found peace through times of
silence our thoughts stirred by words
that sang in a language each other’s
soul knew and understood
Our peace found in each others arm
as we listened to a heart that sang
a song no one else could hear
