The Cosmos woven together
Fabric of strings unseen
Binding force knits the in-between
Love is the Fabric of Life

Interspersed in most everything
This quite fascinating thing
A verb, seldom a noun —
never stands still!
By thought, deed and action
Just present in everything

Love showered by Nature
Upon every living thing
Love showered by a mother
Upon her tiny offspring

Te amo, je t’aime
Legends and chronicles claim
Love of siblings, kith and kin
Love of well-wishers a resounding win-win

Foes love you too, though they know it not
For mere thought has a basis in love, after all

Embraced in love — Peace, Joy, Truth
No bargaining and unwavering
Vast as the cosmos and ever-expansive

Can love be contained to one mere day?
A day is but just a moment in time
The threads of love’s fabric continue to twine
Love is the Fabric of Life!
