Herbert Nehrlich - Tenderness

You mentioned yesterday
just how you know
that WE are on our way
to truly grow.
And that you knew how deep
we had progressed,
that it was wise to keep
this hugely blessed
entanglement between two souls,
the heart as one,
the merging of two poles....
in a homerun?

I asked how did you know,
is it your guess,
you answered
No, LOVE, No,
it is OUR TENDERNESS.
