What Is Love

A tender smile, a fleeting glance,
   Eyes that meet to touch the soul,
A beating heart, a breathless breath,
   A deepened sense of something whole.

A need to please and give of self,
   To share all things of mind and heart
With openness and sweet surrender,
   And of the whole become a part.

A touch of closeness and of warmth,
   The radiance of inner glow,
Bathe in light- an endless aura,
   A current charged with- endless flow.

To feel another's joy and pain,
   Two beating hearts, as one, to care.
And of the thoughts, that words can't speak,
   Two open souls, in silence, share.

To speak of love through word and song
   Is at its best, mere child’s play,
In contrast to the silent prose
   That heart and soul, through love, convey.
