Love’s Promise

Is this love like starlight

Is this love like starlight?

Far travelled

Nothing behind

But memory

Is this love like moonlight?

Pale reflection

Stolen power

A pretender

Is this love like blue sky?

Empty air

Scattered light

Darkening

Is this love like desert water?

A ghostlike shimmer

Illusion

The dust never ending.

Or is this love like the Northern sun,

Long into the evening,

Never setting

A promise

Of water

Where there was once only ice.

About the Creator

Elsa Michaela | @surfthought

When you hear a song

One that stops you in your tracks

That seems spoken from your own mind

Do you listen and listen again?

Follow its streams until a tide,

Inside you

Rushes to fill in the small hollow parts

…Yeah, me too
