Love Is Hope Poem by Mari Martin

In the mists of morning
when the dew sleeps
upon the earth
my heart hears your voice.

In the brilliant rays
of the sun's first awakening
I see a smile
that warms my soul.

In the blueness
of a noon day sky
I find your love
and soar upon it.

In the gentle rains
that bathe my skin
I feel your touch
and want to drown in it.

In the endless night sky
I see the moon
knowing
Your eyes see it too.

How is love born?
How can it exist
in such vastness?

In Love's world
there are no mountains.
There are no oceans.
No space between breaths
or beats of a heart.
There is only
the path it lays
for hearts to follow.
There is only
hope.

As long as my eyes behold
the sun,
As long as my eyes behold
the blueness,
As long as my eyes behold
the moon we share,
Love will give me Hope
to one day
stand with you
to share it's beauty.
