Love Speaks

Love took the shape of a Woman ---
a Sister-friend.
Love spoke when She spoke.
Love comforted when She comforted.
Love nurtured.
Through Her, because of Her,
Love nestled me.
Love filled my lungs;
She gave me life.
My Sister-Woman saw me,
affirming that Love sees.
She brought gifts for my soul,
and Love broke its vow of silence
with audible and gracious power.
They, She and Love, She with Love,
Love in She, revived me.
And I will be forever grateful...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Dear Sara. I love you.
