How Love Triumphs

Just because Valentine's Day is coming up, and because really good love poetry can transcend cliche, enjoy this poem ---- 

Love is a night bent down to be anointed,  

A sky turned meadow, and the stars to fireflies. 

Love triumphs. 

The white and green of love beside a lake, 

And the proud majesty of love in tower or balcony; 

Love in a garden or in desert untrodden, 

Love is our lord and master 

We shall pass into the twilight: 

Perchance to wake to the dawn of another world. 

But love shall stay, 

And his finger-marks shall not be erased.   

-Kahil Gibran
