This Little Thing Called Love

Wed, 11/12/2014 - 14:33 -- mfarnzy
My two little windows look out on the world
Seeing things that it cannot explain
To to light in the attic, the windows exclaimed,
"What is it we see?"
To which the light said “Love.”
 
So my two little windows looked at Love
And all its beauty and style and grace
When it beheld a most beautiful face
With windows clear
And bright in in the sunny rays
 
The two little windows looked confused at the face
Who’s windows created a world renewed
And asked the hearth “What is this new
feeling that warms my soul?”
To which the hearth said “Love.”
 
The two little windows looked and watched
as the beautiful face returned the gaze
Its chimney in a burning haze
The windows clear
In the moon light’s effulgent rays
 
My two little windows looked again
At the face that looked back at me
Wondering how lucky life could be
To the Clock each beat clicked
Counting the time of Love
 
Soon the two little windows looked once more
And saw a frightening sight
In the Deep pale moonlight
The face was gone
The windows black and closed
 
Rain now beating on my two little windows
They look back on that beautiful face
That created a state of fallen grace
"How is it I feel like this?"
To which my empty home said, “Love.”
