the more I know about love
the more I can only compare it to
natural things, forces of nature
unfathomable, constant
powerful, beyond us
the mountains, blue
curving one after the other
steady
the flowing river, alive and beautiful
over mossy rock and through quiet forest
the tree, branching and green
rooted, reaching
rough and brown, alive
the pair of hawks, wheeling
feathered and fierce, borne on wind
wild and unstoppable
the more I know about love
the more I can only follow it to God
the more I know about love
the more I can only think about you
