Many Loves…



Love comes in many guises
"A many splendor thing"
A clown, a dwarf, a harlequin,
Clover, rose, and seven spices,
For beggar, or king!

One love like a hummingbird
Fluttering carefree, agile,
Iridescent purple, green,
Royal blue, unvoiced, unheard,
So flitting, so fragile…

Another love is like a snake
Full of cunning, full of guile,
From the sweetest angel -
Often true, and often fake;
The cruelest, the vile!

Then love like a buffalo
Dependable and true,
A sturdy steed, a mountain mule,
Day in day out on the plough;
Love that carries through…

And love like a summer sky
Quiet like a still river;
Peaceful, silent, sweet,
Content, reserved, and shy,
Evermore gets deeper…
