Love –

You look for it,

You yearn for it,

You go to places

In search of it,

Hoping you’ll find it there.

You glean your memories,

Travelling through the yester years,

You hold on to moments

Suspended in time,

Yet fail to find

What you desperately seek.

And as the days fold into a week,

A month, a year, some years –

You find you’ve shed more tears,

Confronted additional fears,

In this journey to find

What remains elusive.

And then you give up,

You resign yourself

To your ignominous fate,

You accept the hate,

And in doing so,

You sink into the ground,

Hoping you’ll not be found,

Wishing you’d be lost..

And there you find,

A love like no other…

For there, you realize

That in nature,

There is more love

Than you’ve ever sought.
