It Is Love

When the black clouds

In the overcast sky
In distressed mind
Causing despair
Causing gloom of unending
Murky shades of hopeless
Dark and dull
Begetting
Rumbling and crashing
Blazes of electricity
From a thousand booming thunders
Instill fear
In the terrified hysterical darkness,

It is that thin ray
Emanating from your heart
The tender and warm assurance
Assuaging the panic
Clearing the fog
Comforting and encouraging
To fight it out and live
That breaks the ice,

It is love.
