A smile says a thousand words
Breaks through and pierces the hardest of a stony heart
Love is Exigent
Distant echoes felt between the wordless
An Aurora in the Reflections
Shimmering in a clear blue sky
Reflected on the surface of a river.

A touch can lift the spirits
Breaking through our own self-imposed hell's
Love is Dawn
Love is a kiss
Love is a flower
Love is in our eyes
Love is love was, and love exists.

Distant echoes fade
Break our walls down and let love in
Love yourself
Until you see love again within yourself
Love is Exigent
We must move forwards.

Away from the past
And those who hurt us
Until only echoes remain
Let regret become one with the surface of the river
Flow forth and dissipate
And in the reflection of the here and now
Love yourself first.
