Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Love Is

Love is a Mother cradling her newborn babe
   It's an infant's gurgling and cooing 

Love is the tearful embrace of long-lost siblings
   It's the rescued miner's silent prayer of thanks

Love is the flower you received so unexpectedly
   It's your lover asking for your hand tremblingly

Love is the rainbow arching o'er the horizon
   It's a moonlit evening sailed on sky-blue seas 

Love is here, there, everywhere you seek her
   ~  It's found wherever you let her in
