L O V E

L O V E ————— Love… Crosses walls- Invites the vines- Joins the harvest toil- Stays, Faithful- Speaks the ineffable- Increases- Offers its fruit- Swells within- Embroiders tapestries- Will not pause- Shall be Caressed, with appreciation- Bears forgiveness- Sings- Constantly is re-created- By the touch of God- Great as the division of Dark from Light- And, is actualized by the heart- A seed in the soul, An enduring source- A force of all good- To reap peace… And at the last, lasts longer In undreamed-of ways. ——————————————— (c) sally young Eslinger 11/7/21 Thanks be to God

How loveable your poem is., a sort of staccato that aims at defining am emotion many do not understand. Beautiful.

Dear Sally, love can be confusing but your beautiful poem provides a lovely framework for understanding the significance and the blessings of love. I especially admired "Love… / Crosses walls- / Invites the vines-" So inspiring! This piece is a potent metaphorical gem extolling the glory and power of creation, faith, love and peace. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan
