Love Poem - To Life
How do I love thee...like sparkling diamonds
that promise undying magnificence,
a sky an intricate lace gilded with stars at night,
pulling my soul into depths of wonderment.
How do I love thee...like a garden in spring,
flowers and vines cascading in riotous profusion,
a fountain splashing rainbows into its pool -
paradise blowing magic in the air.
How do I love thee... like a newborn child
asleep in its cradle, a smile of innocence
tugging the corners of its mouth, sweet, heart-breaking.
One wishes the moment will pause forever.
How do I love thee...like early snow falling gently,
covering drabness on a stretch of dusty highway,
wrapping bare trees in majestic white and elegance
and distant mountains looming in dreamy silence.
I could go on chanting and extolling praises
of what life offers to those who seek and find
the beauty, the marvels, the miracles, the enchantment -
all these around us - and more.
