The name

Of the beloved

From its birth

In breath

The gentle caress

Of soothing air

Begins

A vocal ballet

Where idea

Made real

Little more than

The tangible touch

Floating on ether

Gentle movements of the mouth

Forming made

Love lingers

In little more

Than a breath

Of the so much

For the breath beckons

That pleasing to the soul
At times burning
Passion filled
Other times
Comforting warmth
Regardless
The mouth is alive
Whenever it speaks

The name

Of the beloved
