Love’s in the air
All around you,
Encompassing you
Body and soul!
It’s there in the music
Of rustling leaves
Chirping birds
Song of the waterfalls,
Whimpering of the sleeping child;
It looks the other way,
When you seek it,
Only to sneak in the heart unnoticed
To seep into each pore of your being
To burnish your heart
With untainted purity
Love!
It strikes you
With a sudden chance-glance
A touch
A tilting of the head
A faint smile
A tear resting on the eye-lid!
It surprises you
It pains you
It shakes you
It shocks you
But it is there to stay;
Look within,
You’ll find it
Following you everywhere
Like an earnest companion!
Love is……….
YOU
