Love

Arrives with unexpected ardor,
Glows in multi-colored lights.
It fawns and flairs with fragrances
That rise and fall in symphony.

Where it dwells is veiled in secret
Else we taste its origin of
Sweet repose, gentle breeze and
Heightened ambiguity.  

I suspect that when it tumbles
Mountains crumble to the sea,
Obstacles retract, expand in
Aspect of fragility.

Only know that as it grows
In nurtured fields of sacred trust,
All delights within the heart
Reciprocate in harmony.

Hate and discord scar the soul with
Emblematic agony.
Only love and simple grace
Can lead the way to ecstasy.
