Love is Wonder

Love is wonder
Intrinsic and powerful
Mysterious in its most
Potent moments
The light inside the shade
I am under

Love hides in secret
Likes seeds planted
In the desert, waiting
For drought’s end
Rain’s nourishing shower
Brings an infinite, colorful palette

Love never leaves us
Lying in our graves
Content for dust to settle
And dim the glory of our lives
Lived under the shade
Before the light luminous

Love lives in thunder
And the cricket’s chirp
Amidst the patter of soft rain
Soaking through soil to thirsty roots
While clouds part like theater curtains
Unveiling the scope of the Master’s love
His wonder

nice imagery in this one... can you really define it?... does make you wonder... it is in every breath you take, in every thing you see... in every possibility-- in the impossible... I like the contrasts sprinkled in here, shows you the spectrum that is the potential for those "potent moments"..... the next to the last stanza has to be my favorite for the phrasing alone... I really enjoyed this.. well done!! what a way to end... his wonder.... thought-provoking :)

You have a way of setting your tone and images in a beautiful serene fashion, peaceful and full of truth. It like laying alone atop a grassy hill and staring at the clouds as a balmy breeze swirls.
