About Love
By Jason Sturner


We do not need thoroughfares

when love seeks the heart



Such is the way of love—

always destined, never sought



We do not need gold coins

when love comes without cost



Such is the value of love—

always priceless, never bought



We do not need a wise man

when love speaks through art



Such is the beauty of love—

always instilled, never taught



And we do not need a ruse

when love surrenders to us all



Such is the enigma of love—

always mysterious, never caught
