Love To Live

Long after the unreserved rage of relationship
....has faded
.........from fabulous flames
.........of yellow-orange lust
.........and surging steams
.........of scalding trust,
.....love survives.
Even in the burnt, charred cinders
....that litter our lives,
.........God is alive.
.........In the warm, supportive hands
.........that thaw frozen fists of fear,
.........or that longing look
.........that calls your lover near,
....love perseveres.
And despite our tears,
....love lingers
.........in the fine art of friendship
.........that strips away
.........the scorched, soiled embers
.........of every day
....exposing
.........a white hot
.........heart of hope
.........that still palpitates
.........with the wonder of the way
....we love to live
.........in the presence of that person
.........too often taken for granted.
