Poem of the Month* By A.D. Moore





“Love”


 
What is love?
Is it the rapture
That elevates the soul
Like the emergence
Of a spring dawn?

And fill the heart
With a sensation
Like no other
It has ever known?

Can it be the blossoming
Of a summer’s rose?
Or the repetitive echoes
Of a newborn baby’s cry?

Perhaps it is the warmth
Of a mother’s hand
That wipes away the tears
From an infant’s eye
Who is wrought with pain
It can not explain.

 
A.D. MOORE is the author of "STREET TALK AND MOORE."
