Bond beyond words

​A glance that speaks a thousand things, A silence where the spirit sings. There is no need for voice, no need for sound, On hallowed, understanding ground. The soul's deep echo finds its mate, A chosen truth, defying fate. ​An unseen thread, both strong and fine, Connect your heart and links to mine. It wraps around the joy and pain, Through sunlit days and driving rain. A knowing nod, a gentle touch, Conveys so little, means so much. The secret language of the deep, The promises we wordlessly keep. ​Like two old rivers, side by side, In common currents, we abide. Though separate shores our lives may claim, The water flows, forever the same. It’s more than friendship, less than kin, The beautiful quiet found within. A bond that time can not erode, A precious, unspoken, heavy load That lightens when it’s shared with you, A simple, honest, and forever true. ​
