SOOTHING AS NIGHT WINDS ARE

SOOTHING AS NIGHT WINDS ARE

 Salvador B. Espinas

Love is gentle, love is quiet

Like any distant star;

Love is beauty, love is music

Soothing as night winds are.

Love is patient and unselfish,

Divine, true, neutral, fair—

Love is ageless and immortal,

Lost love is just somewhere…

And the heart that love abandons

Nurses a tender scar

Softly stabbing, and yet sweetly

Soothing as night winds are.
