You Call Me Love

YOU CALL ME LOVE
I am as Alpha, but don't ask me why,
the wanderer through life, who comes and goes;
the tail of comets not observed am I,
Omega's dying breath nobody knows.

I am the candle flame where-in you shine,
and dance the dance so long as you will burn,
until the end of time, and time is mine,
I am the teacher from which you will learn.

And yes from your first breath, you learn it all,
only from me, the knowledge that you seek,
because of me you rise, and then you fall,
I am each thought you ever think or speak.

You call me love, but only once you'll see
just what I am, and what I'm meant to be.

I love every single line of this beautiful sonnet. I'm saving it to favs, giving it a 7, and wanting to read more.

ThanQ Lin, the sonnet is my favorite for m to writ in, and this one is one of my favorites. Later this afternoon, I will head over to your place and do some reading. Ron
