Velvet Night: The Love Between Two Nuns https://budgetpixel.com/blog/velvet-night The bell strikes twice; the silence is heavy. The stars look down, but they do not know our names. She rises from her bed, in her woolen skirt, On tiptoe—as if it were a long-held custom. Fifty years have passed, yet her heart beats strong; She has seen the whole wide world, but now desires only this. Oh, what a secret we keep, within these stone walls— Two souls seeking one another, on this velvet night. One is young and full of dreams; the other, old and patient— A love being born, needing no further prayer. Sarah arrives, trembling, her bare feet cold; She left the tuneless choir behind for a single, tender glance. Sister Agatha waits, with a weary smile: "Have no fear, my child," she says, "you are in my heart." No confessional is needed; no rosary is required— Only a kiss, an embrace, to drive the cold away. Oh, what a secret we keep, within these stone walls— Two souls seeking one another, on this velvet night. One is young and full of dreams; the other, old and patient— A love being born, needing no further prayer. They sit together on the bench; the wine is slightly bitter, But her voice is sweet—soft as a caress. They speak of life, of dreams, and of their fears; She strokes her hair; the girl closes her eyes and sighs. Time stands still here, amidst these ancient columns; The Rule no longer matters; the Church no longer matters. The bell rings out once more; the dawn is breaking. They bid each other farewell in silence, with a kiss upon the hand— A secret shared by two women, that no one else will ever tell. Forever... and ever... held deep within the heart.
