Love: A Simile



Here and there--everywhere
A cosmopolite you are
Like air
In the world--always.

Beautiful and rich, you dazzle
To get all there is to get
No matter what, where, how and when.

And what is what is why
As is(?)
As God intended
Here and there--everywhere
To everybody.

Flowering immortally, you are
Flowering mortals.

The meaning of everything
You are the alpha and the omega
Of life and death
Like God
Forever.
