Tender


Tender affection,
wound its way,
into a silent soul,
oblivious to storms,
that raged within.

Ignored, spurned
Warned, threatened.
And yet, it persisted,
it stood, it waited,
with tranquil ease.

In the warmth of its gaze
the frost wore off.
A closed, cold heart
opened and basked,
in the sunshine of gentle love…
