(just playing around)

Love is a Mighty Thing


Love is a mighty thing
to its arrow she is tethered
yearning for its mad embrace
stakes her to her dream’s desire

yearning for its mad embrace
molds her movement through a day
she would gladly trip and fall
unto the path that true love takes

she would gladly trip and fall
and cross the mighty sunlit gorge
to reach its heather and its stream
molds her movement through a day

To reach its heather and its stream
and climb the mountain of desire
to hear the call of whippoorwill
under the tree in morning’s still

to hear the call of whippoorwill
she would gladly trip and fall
mold her movement through the day
for in its arrow she is tethered

To climb the mountain of desire
yearning for its mad embrace
under the tree of morning’s still
love is a mighty thing

(smiles) Awwwwwwwwww, I just love this, I believe everyone should love with the little boy or girl in their hearts and play with each smile as love is ever so youthful and gorgeous! (kiss on cheek) Yay, God Bless You, sweet friend, this is gorgeous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

I like it when you play around. This is lovely, Martie, a bit different from your usual work.

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Martie,

Playing around, starting your own every third line starts a new stanza form, plus more line repeats,  or is this an old, old form brought to light....anyone who writes as well as you can create new forms all day long....smiling here....

this is interesting and nice

Hugs, Pat

Martie, you have shown that love is not only a "mighty thing", it is a many splendored thing!

This was so light and carefree, I felt like I was tripping the light fandangle as I read through it!

~ warm hugs and an understanding smile!

Yeah, Martie, I felt like I was skipping along like a little girl as I was reading this cute poem. Love really is a "Mighty" thing, isn't it?

Martie - when love touches it is a mighty thing. It can be the best feeling in the world with sharing of two people of thoughts and desires. You said it well...
