If you find true love,
Grab it with both of your hands,
Never let it go.
It comes only once,
And that if you are lucky,
Never to return.
Do not question it,
Or **** it to dissect it,
Take it as it comes.
Whether in fair form,
Or worn and riddled with scars,
It will bring you bliss.
Look not with your eyes,
They will always deceive you,
See it with your heart.
Its beauty won't fade,
It will be forever new,
As long as you live.
However it comes,
No matter how strange its form,
Give it half a chance.
It will change your world,
Fill all the empty places,
In your dormant soul.
And it will ripple,
Throughout the known universe,
To outlast the stars.
Inspired by my new short story by the same title that deals with humor with a very serious subject--the ability of true love to fulfill empty lives across any gap among sentient, intelligent species.
