-- Love’s Wisdom –

John Herlihy

Love’s wisdom knows no bounds,

No true possibility out of bounds.

Love born from basic human need,

In ground of soul buried this seed.

Love waits patiently to freely grow,

When it arrives, wisdom will know.

With love, the whole being thrives,

As moonlight the darkness revives.

Love’s heart beats a 1,000 flames,

Love never answers by other names.

Love conquers our every affliction,

True love our compelling addiction.

Love upon its wick forever to burn,

Gives all, its heart melts in return.

Even if a day arrives, love betrayed,

Love’s wisdom will never be waylaid.

Eternal flame burning on life’s wick,

Love’s flower blooms ever poetic.
