The Radiance Of Love: (Wedding Poem) Poem by DM W

Love redeems as it renews. It defies all icy solitude.
Love transforms us from vain creatures of night
Into pure angels of light. Love is the affirmative answer
To every troubling, burning question. It is the greatest of gifts.

In this cruel kingdom of thorns, Love is the blood red rose.
It is the Word made flesh; the sacrificial Lamb.
From its primal spirit, new life is continually formed
Within the empty vessels of this wanton world.

Love is freedom's Dove. It cannot be constrained
By crude conveyors of power. It is as soft as snow and flowers;
Yet resilient; unyielding. Indeed, the longer we strive,
The more we may find, that Love is the force
That drives verdant Creation. And it seeks to defy
The bitter realms of the Abyss; which lie within each one of us.
