Love as it springs


Love as it springs is fierce and free
Gushing like snowmelt torrents
Simple as sunrise, clear as stars
The swell of a symphony
But what when the flow begins to slow
Moss making dams in the gutters
Muddied the water, blocked the streams
Where is the clarity?
Would you whistle for courage
Keep the faith
Tend to what love requires?
But long all your life for the fierce and free
The rush and the gush
The snowmelt in crystal torrents
