What Is Love Poem by Michael Deskis

What is love, but an emotion,
So strong, gracious and pure,
When nurtured and shared with another
All tests it will endure

What is love, but a wondrous force
To bring the mighty low,
With the strength to shame the mountains
And halt time's ceaseless flow

What is love, but a triumph,
A glorious goal attained,
The union of two souls, two hearts
A bond angels have ordained

What is love, but a champion,
To cast the tyrant from his throne,
And raise the flag of truth and peace,
And fear of death overthrown

What is love, but a beacon,
To guide the wayward heart,
A blazing light upon the shoals
That dash cherished dreams apart

And what is love, but forever,
Eternal and sincere,
A flame that through wax and wane
Will outlive our life's brief years

What is love, but a treasure,
More glorious than any jewel,
A wondrous spirit flowing through the heart,
And a gift to be embraced in time of yule

So I'll tell it on the mountaintops,
In all places high and low,
That love for you is my reason to be,
And will never break or bow.
