Wild & Fair

Wild & Fair
       
I missed a love that was as wild and reckless
as Autumn's wind stripping the trees bare.
And only a skeleton remains.

I sought a love that was as wild and lost
as the blinding snow storm in Winter leading astray.
And cloaks the familiar surroundings.

I needed a love that was as wild and sure
as the churning river bursting its banks in the Spring.
And carves new paths that are meaningful and beautiful.

I found a love that is as wild and fair
as Summer's fires setting the forests ablaze.
And burns long into the night.
