I KNEW YOUR NAME...

I shouted, "Who are you?" to the winds

Which blew in from the ocean,

Never expecting a reply.

I muttered, "Where are you?" to the sands,

Crunching beneath my feet.

I wondered at the night sky,

"Why must I be alone?"

And, then one day,

The sky said, "Turn around and look."

The sand said, "Listen for her voice."

The wind blew you to me,

And I knew your name was "Love".
