Love

Love,
a moment of serenity,
a view of the mountains
from a stolen aircraft,
it's fuel tank fast depleting!
The green of tree tops,
the splendor
of fresh leaves,
Delicate petals
bursting open
in the spring of youth,
the roots of old trees
sinking ever deeper still
into the depths of existence.
The songs of birds,
songs of joy,
and hope and light and love!
Love, a stolen moment of serenity
that came down crashing,
A moment too short!
