MY TRIBUTE TO GENTLE LOVERS: JAMES AND NESS
Copyright 1998 by Charlotte Boyett-Compo


Love speaks to us in myriad ways:
It whispers on the wind;
It laughs among the falling leaves of autumn;
It sighs as rain washes softly on our faces.

Love speaks to us in blazing sunsets;
When soft morning mist dews the fields;
When an infant smiles;
When an elderly couple hold hands.

Love drifts on endless tides;
Across countries and over boundaries;
Along mountain tops;
And dipping valleys.

Love calls to us in gentle rebuke;
When lovers quarrel;
When injustice prevails;
And harm is done.

Love waits for us at every turn;
Waiting to be recognized;
Waiting to be felt;
Eager to be confronted.

Love is in each of us;
No matter the color;
No matter the race;
No matter the road we take.

Love is eternal;
Love is blind;
Love is in the air;
And you have found it.

Love can be held;
Love can be forever;
All you need to do is remember this:
Love is all we truly need.
