Love 2

Love-

 Love is an
 emotion
 that melts
 ice and snow-
 The world is a threatening place
 until
 love
 makes the rounds
 from one heart to another-
 soft as a bright
 feather and sweet
 as a petal of sugar-
 it fills the soul with its light-
 Life becomes human again-
 it’s no longer a closed door-

 love-you're the medicine we take 
 to save us from the alter of darkness-
 you're the brightness that shines
 in our lives so we can
 sing again beneath the 
 blue sky-hand in hand-

 In the jungle
 of strangers-
 love
 rings out
 sweeping away borders-

 The world becomes a stage-
 love dances and twirls-
 violins and guitars sing-
 stars twinkle in the night sky-
 love-you're  as broad as
 the earth and fragrant- 
 
 Love-
 Where ever your sweet petal appears
 the clouds of darkness take cover-California blue
