Mature love casts its scent


It’s true: a budding love seems more intense, 
bursting with potential,
and love that’s been in bloom for many years 
might seem faded in comparison.
But the texture and complexity, the infinite variety,
the openness with which mature love 
casts its scent into the world —
ah: that’s irresistible, and I’m grateful every day
for the wonder of that blessing.
