what love is

love is rainfall
autumn & leaf
flint striking
steel skies grey
that is what love is

love is loam in
perfume & moss
drinking in the
shadowplayed sunlight
that is what love is

love is graveled
voice & black feathers
granting passage high
in the cedar trees
that is what love is

a name like winter
on a moonless night
a kiss of frost in passing
that is what love is

    Yes; love is that feeling that we cannot truly define. Fine words, Michael.

      Thanks! Sometimes I wonder if it is less about people than we tend to think.

        A good, and very valid, point.
