Nature of Love

Love
Smiles like an opened rose
Tears fill when petals dry
Along the face of dawn
Through seasons blissful cry

Love
fresh as fallen rain
with each breath its scent
Beauty colors in waves
Life's blossomed wonderment

Love
Flows like a river
Timeless without sleep
Calm will hold the mountain
Adrift can melt the sea

Love
Rides the sojourn winds
Soft as a wing's feather
Shy when clouds cover
Free in stormy weather

Love
Whispers long embrace
Beyond skies of azure
To crimson sunset lakes
Where shines a shooting star
