When Love is Scattered Around Hope's Door

Stillness radiates your love
like sunsets glistening
beyond horizens
like another day
that ends
with a vibrant glow
I see you in flowers, too
unfolding pieces
of enchantment
to the minds eye
like the sea
which washes away
burrows within the sand
and cleanses souls
whose tears
have dropped
upon faces wrenched with pain
You are endearing
for snow-covered mountains
cannot replace
the peace
when it is found
given by your heart
as a gift to me
so I may blossom
and colorize
my own shadows
that are left behind
when I have walked places
that you have been
I found you once again
though I was not looking
for the whole pieces of love
which were once scattered
around hope's door
