I have searched for love that
gives |
Demanding no payment in return |
Uncluttered with Life's infinitesimal cares |
Intoxicating as well aged vintage wine |
|
As dancing leaves in an autumn wind |
Always eluding the pursuer's grasp |
Gold cannot buy, chains cannot hold |
Love flees the demanding who would own |
|
The all consuming passion of young love |
Refined by the fire of tine |
Lasting beyond mere physical attraction |
Becomes both strength and gentleness |
personified |
|
In quiet awe I saw love's endurance |
Life's harsh bitter wind whipped plans |
Could not erase the sweet fragrances |
Of love as eternal as the arrival of spring |
|
If perchance the search be long and tiring |
And hope seems lost even to the wise |
Just continue your quest for always |
Those willing to give will claim the prize |
