Counting the Ways

Every thought about the meaning of love 
is but a moment lasting forever
It is a rosebud, fresh and new
with unspoken love in its petals

Every word written 
every song tenderly rendered 
put together in the most wonderful array
of love expression ever inspired....
when felt in sum 
are but specks in the universe 

We cannot fathom the unfathomable
while gently saying, 'I love you.' 
As for 'counting the ways,' 
we can thank poets for trying
