Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Love's Ballet

How does one describe true love
But a feeling deep down in our soul
Intangible, a mystery, a true enigma
Just actors playing a role

It's why this world keeps spinning round
Billions and billions of times
A truer truth has never been uttered
The ultimate in feelings sublime

Imagine us humans unable to love
An armada of empty vessels
Floating along on a nothingness sea
Or riding life's precarious trestle

My love and I are truly fortunate
To have found this illusive dream
An enigma that's puzzled this old world
Since man happened upon the scene

Trying to define the meaning of love
Is like trying to describe the wind
We feel the effects that both can have
But the visual comes from within

It's only a matter of perseverance
Love eventually will come your way
Take heart and show a little patience
You'll soon be dancing love's ballet

And you can describe the wind around here after Dragon eats loads of beans with barbecue sauce! Trust me the names he gets... ain't pretty! But then, neither is the wind which actually has a blue haze! LOL! And they already dance in a ballet they made up called Penguin Lake. But patience won't be needed as they have fans screaming at the gates. Jack Ellison September 15, 2014 at 1:53 PM I used to be a huge fan of ballet with my first wife! XOXOX
