The Shape of Understanding

Love isn’t born in the lightning strike,

but in the glow that follows —

steady, patient, enduring.

It is the gentle art of seeing

without wanting to change,

of hearing without needing to speak.

It lives in pauses,

in silver quiets between sentences,

in the knowing that nothing needs to be earned.

And when two souls —

one of heart, one of light —

meet in that space,

they create something the universe

has no word for yet.
