An English Sonnet In Three Leaps

My first leap must be carefully planned:
I start with a short but intense run, and
leap three times my height, landing inside
the opening quatrain, which states the theme:
How our hearts stretch out to be grasped by love.
My second leap will take me past the silence
and the waiting: it is a long floating flight
over the next two quatrains, in which the poet
I am expresses his faith in absolute love, and
he calls upon the Earth to witness his pledge.
I pause after this second leap, and consider
my prospects in the theater of love. I launch
for a third time, and land softly in bower
of green foliage which welcomes all true lovers.
