Sonnet #1 Poem by Richard Cruz

A love so real it even breathes and bleeds
We keep her alive with kisses and dreams
When she begins to cry we meet her needs
With beautiful songs of heavenly themes

She was born in our hearts so tenderly
And wandered through our entire being
We gave our love unconditionally
To each other but she began fleeing

Let us remind her of the infinite
Wisdom, love, and kindness present in us
Written in many tongues such as Sanskrit
Which has been used by the wisest so thus

Let us find the wise person in ourselves
Let's be kind, gentle, sweet and nothing else!
