What is Real Love?

What is real love?

It is not fire

nor burning desire,

nor kisses of lips

or locked fingertips,

nor rainbows of sky

or bright, beaming eyes,

nor tunnels of love

or towers above.

It is the heart\'s glad cry

among the herons of the marsh.

It is the rush of a wing over the desert.

It is the birdsong in the wasteland.
