The earth stands still
Not a sound reaches the ear
The tree leaves float down
The river rolls sleepily by
All creatures are silent
The oceans glitters in the sunset
Waves ripple in and out in silence
The wind touches the faces of two figures by the sea
Not a word spoken between them
Yet the love that is spoken
Is deepened in the silence
Hands touch
Bodies draw nearer
Not a word is spoken
Lips draw near
Passion builds up
In the silence
Love deepens

I love the images you created in the second stanza with the ripples glittering in the sunset. I liked the style and tone best in this stanza, especially the first 2 lines of it. I felt you could of used a little more of that in the last stanza.
Overall, a very nice serene work.
Thanks for entering and best of luck in my contest. -
Wow this is really good! You're an amzing poet! I especially like the whole last stanza:
"Yet the love that is spoken
Is deepened in the silence
Hands touch
Bodies draw nearer
Not a word is spoken
Lips draw near
Passion builds up
In the silence
Love deepens"
