That is Love

It has been said long before

These written words,

That if I could build

An archway for your heart

With neither lock nor door,

Life will pass freely

In harmony, with our senses.

Touch your friend - your lover - a stranger,

Then they are strangers no more!

Hold them, feel the beauty of their skin,

their face, their hair,

As you would touch

The delicate petals of a flower,

Or put your hand in a gentle stream,

Or feel the sand beneath your feet,

O climb upon the rocks and crags of the shoreline.

Listen to their words;

Their breathing,

Their heartbeat,

Their footsteps on a carpet of leaves;

That, is LOVE!
