MARRIED LOVE



Love is a storm
that cleanses the heart
and baffles the head
goes where none other emotion
dare tread.

Birthed in gentle tension
between wind and rain
spirit and essence
love tells you tells you
the different
is all
just the same.

Grows with passion and fury
love builds,
then with a bang
the pressure releases
seems gone, it's the same
despite different form
now is cold, what was warm
now is gentle, once strong
now is silent, once song.

And we wonder
where'd love go
where's the coming together
where's tension building, so high
where's the rolling thunder
and the all-night lightning flashing
that lit up our sky?

Look down on the land
see the traces
of the storm's raging hand
and see that love changes
new growth emerges
where fury once raged

Freedom is found in
the essence once caged.

The power of storm
unleashed on the land
brings a gentle rebirthing
a caress of love's hand.

Love like the storm
Builds
Changes form.

Wind and rain reunite
to dance one more dance
to live one more form
and love goes on
in a trance

Never ending
sometimes pretending
that it's gone
but it's not

it's just changed
it's just different
it's just grown
it's emerged

love goes on forever
and ever

Whenever
two hearts
with sincere intent

come together to weather
every unforecast event.
