there is something out there

which shines as bright as the stars

but is darker than the blackest shadow

it is as loud as a roaring lion

but as quiet as a whisper in the desert

grander than the tallest mountain

yet smaller than a speck of dust

it is as beautiful as colorful sunrise

but uglier than the touch of death

older than the planet earth

and newer than an infant

Faster than the speed of light

but slower than the changing seasons

wilder than the storming seas

yet calmer than a glassy river

more fragile than shimmering glass

but stronger than a whirling tornado

It is which we call love
