A Mortal Love

what silent love could capture the attention of the stars? what passionate force could rival all of the cosmos? what earthly bellows of joy could shake the planet? what perfect love could last? what souls could dance the borderless dance of true love? the sun and moon perhaps the stars and wisps of clouds assuredly no pair of mortal souls as complex as the dawn whose feelings are as short-lived as such could remain afloat in the rolling sea of ardent intimacy whose tides are high and whose storms are billowing what temporal pair could face such a threat? perhaps one whose love sends shudders through the seas falters through the very plates of the earth whose dance entertains the watching eyes of the moon whose proclamations of faith scare the morning fog yet still the earth's tears of rain shall fall for she has watched this same force collapse a million times before
