Reflections of Love

         Reflections of Love

Where are we going, for love we chase                 
To places unknowing and cannot keep pace             

Sometimes fleeting, others at length                   
Always defeating our will and our strength                     

It spins like a feather on whirling pond                
Fixes no tether and guiles the beyond                               

It falls from the sky, erupts from the sea               
It does not ask why and is never free                   
        
It is all around, waiting to link
Not easily found as we may think

A shoulder it taps, direction it guides
Sensation unwraps but destiny hides

It’s hit and it’s miss, so often it tries
With mystical kiss, we don’t realise

Where we are going, for love we chase
A place never knowing, yet long its embrace
