Love Is

Love is a rainbow mirrored in the sky
Its free, its beautiful and tells no lies

A gleaming reflection
Upon the still of a pond
The dewy mist on a freshly cut lawn

Love is a sanctuary for our innermost fears
A tiny capsule to hold all of our tears

A symbol of beauty, rare to be found
Its strength and convictions
Knows no bounds

Love is the touch of our first newborn
So soft, so delicate, so easy to adore

An unconditional consenting of souls
An awareness, a spirit, unique to its own

Love soothes and heals though cannot be bought
An eternal commitment so widely sought

Love is a truth and blossoms for few
A necessity of life, a uniting of hearts
A palette so stunning, so beautiful and new

Love is how I feel for you.

Hi Lynn, here i am where it all started. This is a beautiful piece of poetry and it sings. It sings such a simple song and it is this simplicity vthat does give it its beauty. I really enjoyed perusing each line feeling peace within as i did read down the page. This write was a joy to behold. As Linda says, it is a little gem. I am glad i found this one this early morning. This has to be a seven Lynn. Hugs....Mike. XX
