Original title: Times In Love
Poet: Sherri Anderson

There are times when words aren’t enough

feelings can’t always be put into words

because they are inadequate and often escape us

sometimes, there are only feelings.

There are times when all you need is a look

a silent, wordless connection between souls

an understanding that needs no translation

a natural, knowing stare that says everything.

There are times when all you need is a touch

nothing spoken

just the gesture of reaching out

touching silently transferring your energy

conveying something that comes from within

There are times when all you need is acceptance

to know that you are valued as you are

that any changes you make only enhance you more

as you discover yourself.

There are times when all you ever wanted

was to be completed by another person.

There are times when you need all of these things

there are times when nothing else matters.
