Love
As calm as a pond
Not crowded with
Ducks that
Quack and wade,
Nibbling at grubs
That aren't under
The mud.
Love
Softer than the
Down on a wide
Cupped breast
White, Whiter than
the snow that falls
On Christmas eve
After the children
Fall asleep.
Love
As forever as the
Promise given by God
And sealed with a rainbow
So many eons ago.
This is my love for you.
