On Love

Love that takes its time

To settle in your unsettled heart

Making clear, the uncertainty you feel

Love taking you by surprise

Making you surrender to the wills of the heart

Letting love take flight

To new destinations

Love that wakes you from yourself

Invigorating your soul

Inviting it to soar together

Weathering whatever storms are faced

Love being a guide

A shield

A sword

And a home to feel safe in
