Love Is

A bird that rises at dawn
Two lovers whose flesh is one
The sharing of good and bad
A story that makes us sad

Knowing not having to ask
Giving without reward
Heaven, a blade of grass
The heart that keeps us warm

A teardrop, a river of dreams
The rainbow at the end of a stream
A mountain one desires to climb
An ocean that wanders thru time

The Sabbath, a day of rest
The infant a woman takes to her breast
A flower, a grain of sand
The stranger who takes your hand
