Love
Adrift

Like
desert sands with drifting
dunes.
Love it flows like waterfalls.
Opening the soul like a flower in bloom,
The sky so blue yet with no walls.
The heart adrift to entering thoughts,
Love is strange and we all behold,
Once in a lifetime letting ourselves
be courted,
To the love of one we know is true.
Not letting go but taking hold,
Like desert dunes and waterfalls blue,
To wander the earth in search of you.
