Only fools know what it means
To fall asleep in dreams
And awake on clouds of love
No mortal thought of doubt
Could drown these feelings out
Boys wishing to be men
Could never comprehend
That love is not the means
To an end
Not a prize to be won
Not a bird to be caged
Not something given
Only to expect some reward
They cannot give
Without taking more in turn
Never will they learn
That to love
Is to love without reward
For to give is the gift
That life has
Never hid
Or held onto
As its own
In abdunce we will find
In every leaf on every branch
Of every tree
Throughout the bark
The roots
The earth
That to give love freely
Is heaven beneath our feet
No vengeful god above
Would declare any act of love
Of crime or
Of sin or
Of hell
With demons may angels fly
With lust may flowers
Open petals and bloom
Never shall adoration die
When with grateful pulse
The heart overflows
To the never ending sound
Of the eternal beat
Of the universal
Cosmic gift
Of truth
Of happiness
From immortal blood
Of fools dreaming
Upon clouds
Giving their every
Breath to
Love
