Plainsong of the Passionate

Ron Arnold

Love will find us
the way the wind strums
the harp strings of a tree.
The way the hummingbird slurps
nectar from a berry.

Here we lie beside ourselves and wonder why
a moment so joyous makes us cry.

Love will find us
the way Aquarius and Virgo
sparkle alongside the moon’s glow.
The way string sunshine melts
into butter to make daffodils grow.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s gay or straight.
Occurring early in our life or late.

Love will find us
the way speckled trout swim
upstream to find a pool to spawn.
The way an owl’s hoo...hoooo
marks the coming of dawn.
