What is Love



What is love?
Love is the way the sun bows to the moon
Letting her shine in a soft, fine-tune
The way the wind blows the autumn air,
Whispering to the trees in a secret affair
As they blush
There is a hush
Of the birds that chirp along
In a love song
The way the ocean waves
Push against the caves
Coming back every time
No matter how many times pushed away
Love is everywhere, above in the air, the clouds
In empty grounds, as well as big crowds
Love is bold, big, and bright
Yet also fragile
As thin as glass as soft as snow
Comfy and warm
But also cold as ice ready to break any second
Also wanting to be beckoned
Love is beautiful and love is everywhere
