The sun your eye

is the smile in my sigh

the warmth of your loving

surprise

The things that you do

always draw me to you

your love is your secret

disguise

The things that I know

from the things that you show

are always the thoughts

that don't fade

The wonder and magic

of what can be found

because of the dues

that you've paid

I sing the songs

that are never heard

I write the words

that are seldom read

I paint you pictures

with invisible ink

—expressions

of what can't be said

The fear of not knowing

the fate of not growing

the signs of the truth

yet to be

Creative endeavors

and love on the line

are always the hardest

to see
