Like the sands upon the dune

And the crashing of the waves

Like the brilliance of the moon

Breaking lazy summer days

 

Like the wind upon the trees

And the shaking of the limbs

Like the rustle of the leaves

Riding high upon the wind

 

Like the falling of the rain

And the thunder of the storm

Like the healing of the pain

Somewhere safe and warm

 

Like the mist upon the land

And the dew upon the rose

Like the swirling of the sand

And the deepest river flows

 

Like the beating of my heart

And the pounding in my chest

Like a promise from the start

That shall weather any test

 

Like the fires afterglow

And the cooing of the dove

All these things will show

They pale compared to love!
