A Love of Ponder

I find myself pondering: What is love?

What is it?

Is it a moment that freezes in time?

Is it an explosion of feelings?

Is it found in the soil of commitment?

Is it in the voice of a promise?

Does it hide in the claws of attachment?

Does it reside in uncovering the shadows of one's psyche?

Does it swim in endless cups of laughter?

Does it drown in an ocean full of hope?

Is it an extension of care? Kindness? Values? Life assignment?

Or found in a shared purpose? A soul alignment?

Could it be the burning warmth released when a quirk is discovered?

Is it lying on the gentle shoulders of affection?

What is it?

Gosh, I have no clue...

But I'm slowly starting to realise,

that maybe, just maybe, love is you.
