Love Poem: Love

Love

I have lived and I have loved
and it was love, indeed,
that gave me life.

is love that has lifted me
far beyond the earth's
endless sky.

was love that engendered
an occasional cry-
(a saddened sigh.)

Blue heron hungers for his mate
ardently awaiting her return

Love has many hazards-
heaps of twist and turns;
yet without love

there is no life at all
