LOVE IS... has been reformatted to qualify for a contest entry.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
~William Shakespeare


         LOVE IS…

Love is a rushing river
         passing over jagged rocks,
         smoothing the edges into shining stones,
         beautifying the surrounding habitation. 
Never can it be perfectly captured
         on film or canvas,
         yet marvelously spectacular on
         gazing upward from a raft or
         peering over a precipice. 

Love is green and vibrant…
         ethereal as the grass, trees and sky
         after an electrical thunderstorm passes.

Love is the songbirds gently waking,
         calling us to celebrate the morning
         after a good night’s sleep.

Love is an awakening, uncovering
         deep unknown and hidden passages. 

Love is medicine when ailing,
         keeping us ‘til healing comes.

Love raises the dead,
         bringing dormant emotion to life ---
         incomprehensible unless fully experienced. 

Love begets love even as life begets life. 


(See 1 John 4:7&8.)
