A Great Love

A GREAT LOVE

A great love, like a camera lens,
finds the perfect scene, depends
on the lighting, frames her face,
zooms in and out through time and space.

A great love, chisels to know, to find the jewel
hidden inside, precious and fragile. The tool
taps gently, with precision, with wholesome care
to find in the sorrow and imperfect, the fair.

A great love, highlighted by a crown of stars.
Godspeed’s illuminating moon, erases her scars.
The array of her rainbow tapestry, in bloom -
his eyes, arms, and heart always have room.

A great love, doesn’t wait to show her affection.
He sees what she hides, before her introspection.
The perfect gift of honeysuckle rose or a kiss.
She in turn is free to lavish him with lifetime bliss.
