Knowing Love

I feel the ocean wind in your breath.
And see the moonlight in your eyes.
Sprightly sparrows echo,
In your cackling laughter.
And, I am compelled to summarise,
Why is it so,
That the bees that earlier bugged me,
When they buzzed about my ear,
Are music to me now,
And intently I hear,
As if driven into a somnolence so deep,
That dreams seem a strange surreal reality.
Brown no longer appears muddy
But the mottled colour of a moth.
Green isn’t as commonplace
As previously I thought.
Jeers and jabs make me smile
As if watching a comedy.
Anger evades my elusive mind
As if captured by tranquil melody.
What is this knot in my rib
That clenches my restless heart?
Why this unexpected exaltation
Of joys ignored thus far?
I think, I ponder.
I sing, I wonder.
And as if magicked by fairy dust
I realise,It’s love!
