Love’s Reach

Accidental Poet



Into the depths of hearts

The universal quest for love

Be it man or beast

On Earth, every species thereof

 

A dog is man’s best friend

Always at his side

Consistently ready to please

Or as co-pilot for a ride

 

The household cat

A loner out on his own

But when in need of affection

He finds his human at home

 

I’ve heard of

Eagles who mate for life

With unique marriage vows

The male courts his wife

 

 And mourning the loss

An elephant grieves 

Emotional pain ensues

A family void it leaves

 

A Chimpanzee Mother

Holds her baby close

Safe in Mama’s arms

When afraid it’s there he goes

 

Love, not just a human emotion

But animals know love too

All species with brain and heart

Love’s reach in Earth’s Zoo

        Love, as you rightly proved, is an uncontrolled emotion.
