Love Triumphs

Against odds however great
Love will always triumph.
Falsely some attribute this
To the conquest of the flesh.
Yet it is never that
But is rather the supremacy of the spirit.
Far above the flesh does it soar
Freeing man from all woes of the earth.
For love has no boundaries
Nor has it limits
Nor does it wallow in the daily tedium.
It is like the welcoming tulips of the spring
Leaping through the vestiges of winter
Impatient to welcome the start of warmth.
For it is one's spirit that is real.
Love will illuminate a path to the very soul
For against odds however great
Love will always triumph.
