Everything fades, but Love’s light

Everything fades,
Youthful beauty and childhood laughter,
Soft skin and flawless faces.
Like footsteps at the edge of a beach,
Washed away by a gently wave.

Everything fades.
Loving words spoken between lovers,
Sweet whispers lost in dark nights,
Like a rose, once fragrant and inspiring,
Now withered away, shedding its’ petals.

All fades, that is the law,
Ever repeating, never stopping.
Only one element remains,
Like a rock, unshakable.

For love once realised is eternally cherished.
As all dissolves, only that light remains,
Like a candle, in the dark caves of our existence.
