Love Is All Poem by Barry Middleton

love is like the mountaintop
a world stretches to the horizon
but matters not at all

everything is contained in love
lovers see the sunset
simply because it is shared

they hear the mockingbird
and hold tightly to each other
only to portion its joy

the clouds stream above them
but solely to reflect the heaven
within each others' eyes

the wind stirs in the tall pines
and its breath is like love
like a whispered secret
