Love isn't always

All consuming and

Overwhelming. 

It can be calm

and strangely serene, 

Like looking up 

At the vast blue sky and

Watching a cloud 

Pass by. 

The cloud isn't 

Permanent; neither

Is your gaze.

All you can do

Is revel in its

Seamless and ephemeral 

Beauty before the

Hungry sky claims

And engulfs it

In its entirety.
