Poem #1 (Love)

Love is like fog, or humidity, or water in general

It is all around, surrounding us with constant fluid energy,

Some days you walk outside and can feel it on your skin

and can can see it in the air, cradling everyone with inseparable synergy

It courses through our veins with a feeling akin -

to a rivers rush or honey in a hive of bees

Other mornings you arise to bright blue skies

And the edge of the lake is deprived of water as it dries

Yet at no point does this make you think that water doesn’t exist

Or in a week or two mushrooms won’t be shrouded in dawn’s mist

In the same way that glacier streams trickle down mountains while we’re asleep

Love is eternal and not reliant upon our perception

So even if we don’t feel or see it every day keep -

believing that Love persists even when we don’t have another human’s affection

Just as trees and humans alike cannot grow without water

The unity of life and love are perpetual dualistic perfection.
