Love Is

Love is the gentle blossom of a flower
Love is the rain, a cool night shower
Love is a fortress; there is safety in the towers
Love is a light when in darkness we cower
Love is a beginning when we reach an end
Love is when paths meet after the wind and bend
Love is a blessing, the loyalty of a friend
Love is the greatest thought that words can send
Love is an enormity too large to comprehend
Love is the equilibrium, the balance of trust
Love is an entity, she and he, we and us
Love is an ecstasy, until the dawn, until dusk.

"Love is an enormity to large to comprehend" this line resonated with me the most. In my faith as a Christian God is Love.
