There Is a Love

There Is a Love

There is a love

I know. 

I know it more

Than anything else. 

It has been high,

It has been low.

But mostly, 

An alter ego. 

It’s been the kind of friend

I can call anytime—

Day or night, 

Mad or sane,

Glad or inane. 

This love I know, 

Just is.  

It has made sense

For decades! 

It has been quiet,

A treasure trove,

And mostly, 

A gift from above.  

I feel it in the summer grass

And in the crisp winter air.

I hear it in the evening rain

And in silence’s prayer.  

I see it in your eyes

And in every sunrise.

There is a love

I know. 

It has been high,

It has been low.

But mostly,

It has been mine

Ever since I learnt

To let go.
