What is Love? <br />Is it the whisper of a word on the breath of the air and the <br />shape of a face cut in the clouds? <br /> <br />Does your heart sing? <br />When it does, does it sing with the voice of <br />one who taught it to sing? <br /> <br />Do you see the stars? <br />I see the stars. I see my yesterdays <br />burning through the night. <br /> <br />Do you see the stars? <br />The splintered shards of heaven scattered many <br />across midnights' velvet cloth, like jewels <br />on a jewellers cloth.<br /><br />Floyd Zimmerman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-splintered-shards-of-heaven/
