New Cherubino
How good it is to find myself
In love with everyone
And revel as a lover should
In everything that’s done
How great it is to not despair
But enjoy what’s lost and won
No pain and sorrow do we share
Refreshing tears on anon
Hope in love is but forgiveness
A hand clasped when we stumbled
The grudge brushed off in peacefulness
With kindness anger humbled
Love is giving without taking
Generosity in full
It is doing without breaking
It’s catching when one might fall
Love is a good and joyful thing
Sunshine bright among the rain
It’s a life more than a feeling
Unadorned, simple, Beauty Plain
This Poem is inspired by the ideals of love put forth by the youthful character Cherubino in Mozart's Opera The Marriage of Figaro. Here, instead of a hormonal teenager, Love is embodied by all of the good things one looks for, going beyond lust and confused feelings to a good place, where the simplicity of Love makes it all the greater.
