Love's Only Everything

It could be a beacon, leading your wounded heart
Into the depths of understanding, pulling you apart

A sweet caress upon the soul as you ponder truth
Inside your mind's confusion, there is no substitute.

A gentle rain upon the thoughts that linger deep inside
A hunger for the feel of drifting dreams, it comes to hide.

Simple words that are said behind the lies deceit
Looking for the comfort of another's sweet release.

A touch of human kindness, that has come too close
It blows the tender petals of love's pure summer rose.

A dip into the breath of the solemn song it plays
Giving just a gentle kiss upon the heart that's frayed.

Forgiveness for the taking of a whisper in the wind
Among the stars forsaking of a thought to hope again.

Beneath the moon it taunts us with its slumbered eyes
It blankets the illusion of a star-crossed alibi

To know these truths and still we welcome all the hurt it brings
We stand strong in the knowledge, that to love is everything.
