LOVE

Love knows that you will die

But he will smell you again as a rose

Love knows that behind your anger, waits a smile

Just as day hides behind night

Love knows when your crystal pride is shattered

That’s when it consoles you in its broken reflections

Love knows when your muslin heart tears with grief

That’s when it gently stitches the holes

Love is dark as a crow; it's white as light

It wears all colors and isn’t wrong or right

Love lingers as music on a note held high

It shyly hides, in the silence of a sigh

Love rolls like a cat, in the stubbornness of a child

It sneaks like a mouse amongst  the meek and mild

Love beats its ecstatic wings at the kiss of time

And gallops through life with rhythm and rhyme

Love is a face in the forest, it’s a tree fallen down

It's Jesus laughing and a crying clown

There is nothing greater than love it’s all around
