TRUE LOVE

True love likely will never be found
in a roadside bar
or within the complicated  maze
of dating games,
or by spending your last dollar
on the date line.

True love stands tall
in a lush green forest
touched gently by the rising sun
on a clear summer day.

True love is light rain falling
on open valleys and rolling hills
touching all of life softly
with each silver drop.

True love arches across the sky,
a multicoloured rainbow
bringing tears to the eyes
and a flutter to the heart.

True love, like great sex,
does not come in a bottle:
avoid false promises
of everlasting love lurking
within the covers of a magazine:

take a walk in the sunshine
take another in the rain,
then try it in the snow
or a wind storm might do it:
love who you are...
the rest just happens!
