I Am Love

I am round in a ring like a great big wave
on the crest of a circle sea.
I am round like the eyes of a purple god
in the limbs of a golden tree.
I begin like the start of a morning song
on the day that a child is born
and I end like the start, like a loving heart,
for my dusk is another dawn.

I am hot like a fire made of lightning's breath,
and I'm fresh like a cooling breeze.
I'm a chain from a child to his mother's heart,
from a house to the ancient trees.
I am fast like a hawk on a fatal swoop
from a sunlit cloud above,
and I see everyone under one great sun,
I am here,
everywhere,
I am love.
