Reflections of Love

Reflections of Love Where are we going, for love we chase To places unknowing and cannot keep pace Sometimes fleeting, others at length Always defeating our will and our strength It spins like a feather on whirling pond Fixes no tether and guiles the beyond It falls from the sky, erupts from the sea It does not ask why and is never free It is all around, waiting to link Not easily found as we may think A shoulder it taps, direction it guides Sensation unwraps but destiny hides It’s hit and it’s miss, so often it tries With mystical kiss, we don’t realise Where we are going, for love we chase A place never knowing, yet long its embrace For ‘Reflections of Love’ Contest Poem written 4 March 13 by R D Seal
