Love Shapes
Love does not arrive with a single name.
It comes as wind through an unlatched window,
as warmth pooling on stone at dusk,
as a glance that lingers without claim.
The universe offers it softly, unsealed,
asking only that you feel, not define.
Sometimes love is a river without banks,
silvered, shifting, unowned by direction.
It touches your ankles, then your chest,
then recedes before you can hold it.
It teaches the body to trust movement,
to bless what passes without grasping.
Sometimes love is a constellation passing,
bright for a season, then elsewhere aligned.
It does not vanish; it rearranges itself,
finding new heavens to illuminate.
The mistake is to cage the stars with words,
to demand a shape from the infinite.
The universe speaks in invitations, not contracts.
It braids connection through time and chance,
through friendship, devotion, silence, desire.
Each form is precise, each moment complete.
When you release the need to name it,
love reveals its truest, fluent grace.
