TRUE LOVE'S PROMISE

It is deep within
The love of another's light
Where ambition redefines itself
Where the spirit of Love
Requires no momentous application
It need only be reciprocated
Nurtured,
With well considered words
Promoted,
By soft touches that no one else notices
Watered,
With near tears in unexpected gazes
And preserved,
With spontaneously woven memories
That spin into the forever
Of true Love's
Promise
------------------------------------------------
It is there
Where ambition becomes ravenous
Greedy for its source
Becomes faith
In the light of another's Love
And the very chrysalis
That houses
The spirit
Of God....
