From My View…--By Martha Magenta--England

From My View…

The face of love is an open flower

that greets the morning sun.

It is the wind that chases leaves

around in circles just for fun.

The face of love is the shining moon

in the dark blue, star-flecked sky.

It is sun-kissed leaves in spring,

and the fledgling learning to fly.

The face of love is rain on the earth,

the stillness of lakes, a subtle breeze

like a butterfly's wing;

the song of blackbirds in the trees.

The face of love is the long lost child;

the heart that yearns for years,

to hold, to care, to love the face

remembered now through gentle tears.
