Essays on life, work and literature

Love

When love colours your thoughts and deeds, you are love;

by these things, it’s plain to see, one becomes what one has sought -

a veritable truth, an intuitive word, a song for days to pass by,

be love in old age, love in youth, love in sentiment, on sighs.

Love’s a parable for every era, soft as moss and hard to source,

yet so simply wept and long declared, the search though grim,

the lack or loss is worse.
