O the beauty of Love <br />So refreshing so delightful <br />So beholding so devoted <br />So gently fleeting. <br /> <br />O the beauty of Life <br />So dedicated so filled with joy <br />So obedient to its presence <br />So gently fleeting. <br /> <br />O the beauty of Breath <br />So silent so aware <br />So endowed so kind <br />But so gently fleeting. <br /> <br />O the beauty of Friendship <br />So much laughter so much shared <br />So harmonious so secure <br />Yet so gently fleeting. <br /> <br />O the beauty of a Kiss <br />So sensual so memorable <br />So lingers yet yearning <br />But oh, so gently fleeting. <br /> <br />The Love of Life <br />The Breath of Friendship <br />Kisses urestrictedly and unnoticed <br />Yet so gently fleeting. <br /> <br />Across the seas of time <br />Beyond the ages of imminence <br />Expels into its dimensions <br />Onto an unknown path. <br />It can be given <br />Or taken away <br />In the glimpse of an eye <br />Or the touch of a hand. <br />No words are spoken <br />But it is in silence sealed. <br />Sealed into one common spiritual bond <br />A declaration in constant pursuance <br />Voided by its own solitude. <br />Once again, it eludes <br />And defies itself. <br />Never does it escape <br />But is unintentionally released <br />By the emotions of the soul <br />All so gently fleeting.<br /><br />Cecelia Weir<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gently-fleeting/
