Poetry Interlude

Shadows of Life

 

I am but a shadow passing through life

Substance wanes wandering over barren land

The inner essence twists in strife

Flickering light casts its familiar glow

As I cease to exist and meld within the sand

Slipping deeper into the darkness below

What is, Love

Love is, the leaves sweeping across the land in a cool gentle breeze

Love is, a blanket of snow covering the earth protecting all that is beneath

Love is, the bud on a tree entering a tranquil life of purpose

Love is, an early morning dew sparking in bursting rays of sunshine

Love is, a flower on a warm summers day outstretched petals to the sun

You are the breeze that sweeps across me

You are the snow and I the earth

You are the tree and I the bud

You are the sun and I the dew

I am the flower yearning for your tender caress
