"In Black and White"

Mutually careful,
a quickening glance,
withheld in understanding.

A generous nature,
patient for reciprocity,
hinders haste.

This gift,
a restless knowing,
imperceptible by most.

For future's sake,
the treasured heart,
carefully cradled.

Slow and easy,
breaths the advance.

Worth more in stillness,
shines first embrace.
