When I imagine love
I see a fire
In a dense thicket
Glowing and dancing drawing
Those near and far
To come and warm
Attracting all creatures closer
Closer shyly closer until
Each one finally understands
The why they’re here
At first it’s curiosity
And then it’s heat
And finally it’s comfort
Knowing that we’re all
The same and indeed
Seeking the same simple
Thing in the thicket
