Perhaps Love

by lawrence

Perhaps love
is like a shadow
a silhouette that tails
Waltzing partner
dancing to the light
Unseen anchor
in the darkest of night

Perhaps love
is like a child
a boundless mercurial soul
Tender little fingers
holding tight without end
Unfinished kisses
stolen away by the sweetened hand

Perhaps love
is like a cloud
a gathering of rain soon to fall
Cotton candy
of wondrous dreams be made
Roll of thunder
awash where my heart's laid

Perhaps love
is really just this
a season of our heart
Summer... Spring...
Winter and Fall...
One we know
yet... not at all...
