Cherish

See it
Really see it, for
You will not own it too long
It can do nothing ever, but
Sing its own tune
Own all the rights
To its song

Know it,
Really know it, for
You will not know it
Too long
Best you can do is
To learn the sweet words
Memorise every
Soft lilt
Of it's song

Feel it
Really feel it, for
You will never.. have.. hold..
As your right, for
Love will most certainly 
Set itself free
Untangle it's beauty
Inevitably flee, so

Cherish it

Really... cherish... it...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
