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.
