Love's Fire

He flew away, soaring high, like a young condor

         With a thousand dreams in his heart

                      His mind, a compass, set toward the eastern shore

                              To find his love waiting, beneath the stars

                                        Two lovers, united, blazing bright from afar.

Thank you, Skat. I enjoyed writing this one, as it related to the romance between him and his true love, now his wife :)

Thanks your very much, Sara! I was delighted to place in your contest, too! This poem was based on our son, Jeffrey, who travelled from California to New York, chasing his true love, Lindy! They married within the year :)
