Love is in the air

love is in the air
in our breath
and in the breeze

and at the centre of the raging storm
that brings us to our knees

love is in the water
within the rivers
and the rain

and in the sea and sweat and tears
that wash away our pain

love is in the fire
in the hearth
and in the sun

in the flames of deep desire
in the embers of songs well sung

love is in the earth
in the fields
and in the dales

at the tip of every mountain peak
in the depth of every vale

as above
then so below

as below
then so above

fundamental, non-judgmental
elemental love
