Love

Have I ever been in love?

Possibly.

I have been in love with the sky for as long as I can remember 

With the clouds traversing its surface 

Changing shapes 

And colors 

To

Echo 

My 

Mood.

I have been in love with the great oak in my backyard 

With its golden bark and leaves that fall in autumn, 

Green and red and yellow and brown 

And all the gradients of the spectrum 

My

Very own

Rainbow. 

I fall in love with the Sun

When it rises, everyday, 

Turning the heavens crimson 

And when it sets 

Ruining them dull

Daily 

Routinely 

Just like me. 

But have I ever been in love with a person? 

Never. 

For they rarely change colors or forms 

Seldom cause downpours or storms 

Never shed themselves - not to even grow. 

And I cannot love stagnation, you should know.
