Love Softens The Edges

love softens the edges
even those of rocky cliffs
those jutting up from the seafoam
a hundred or more feet below
love soothes the scorch of sun
from bared shoulders lifted to the sky
love asks no reason why
it just does
love softens all the edges of life
even dulls the keenest knife
and with your hand in mine
i could soar, i could just fly
right off this hillside...
