The Song of Falling in Love
It starts with a spark, a soft little flame,
A look that can move you, though none are the same.
The world feels alive, the colors shine new,
Each moment feels brighter, because of this view.
A smile turns to music, a word feels like song,
You feel you’ve been waiting, for them all along.
The night feels much shorter, the day feels so near,
A heart finds its rhythm when someone is dear.
Yet love is a river, it twists as it flows,
It teaches with patience, it deepens, it grows.
At times it is gentle, at times it is wild,
It tests you, it shapes you, it keeps you beguiled.
Not every day’s easy, not all skies are clear,
But even through clouds, the sunlight is near.
Love is a balance of learning and grace,
A journey of growth in another’s embrace.
Procès
Love is the teacher of all that is true,
It humbles the strong and it strengthens the few.
It heals and it hurts, it destroys and creates,
It binds two as one and it bends all the fates.
So love is the meaning, the light from above,
The risk and the wonder, the reason we love.
A storm and a sunrise, a loss and a cure…
The greatest of treasures, eternal and pure.
