Lyrics
a love invisible,
enough to be divine,
safe enough
to take for granted
so much of the time.
the scaffolding of everything
i hold dear in this life—
love invisible,
enough to be divine.
quiet magic,
hidden in plain sight.
our faces nearly rhyme,
heartbeats synchronized,
three generations of gentle love
echo in your eyes.
a soft-spoken voice
under endless noise,
instantly recognized—
love invisible,
enough to be divine.
love invisible,
enough to be divine.
love invisible,
enough to be divine.
quiet magic.
quiet magic
hidden in plain sight.
