Perfectly balanced.

Needing Nothing

Love needs no words.
Words only require more from love.

Dreams need no thought.
Thought wants a cause for dreaming.

Faith needs no time.
Time demands favours from faith.

Peace needs no reason.
Reason limits the freedom of peace

Hope needs no motive.
Motive asks hope to publicize love.

But love needs no words.
Words only require more from love.

Though a fairly terse write, the power and depth of your words in this beautiful poem is quite impressive, Fay. I also liked how you made your first verse also the final verse in this great write, as I have always believed in the effectiveness of repetition in poetry! Carl.
