I Saw Love Today

Driving in my truck
I saw love today
bright red letters
fancy grafitti
written on a wall
it said
"all you need is love"
and as I went around
the corner
there they were
her hair gone to
winter's gray
striking a
pose long and
tall against the
lamppost
him concentrating
on getting the shot
his hair in the same
realm of winter
as it escaped his
fine cap perhaps
longing
for younger days
and it was his face
that caught me
the sheer adoration
as he looked up at her
and back down
to the viewfinder
working on that
perfect shot that
would forever
frame the love that
he saw though its lens
she smiled back at
him with that glow
that would make
you walk barefoot
through snow
if a woman ever looked
at you like that
and then they were
gone...
I saw love today
