Just Ask

By janmew

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

If you want to know how long my love for you will last, ask the giant redwood how many seasons it has seen. To know what could ever make me stop loving you, ask the struggling salmon as it swims against the stream. If you want to know how far my love for you will go, ask the migrating arctic tern as it circles 'round the globe. To know how my heart feels when I look into your eyes, ask the dark night sky awash with fireworks in July. If you want to know how vast the love for you is in my heart , ask the mighty ocean touching every distant shore. To know just what it is that makes my soul complete ask the humble mirror as it reflects upon your face. Written October 30th, 2001 © on Oct 30 2001 05:42 AM PST   18 • 0 • 8
