To Love~

Artwork by Trudy Rice.

At a time when love occurs

Matters are often confused

Transitions are made without thought

Maybe that is the only way...

To love...

A heady time of passion

In a fabulous den of wonder

That may or may not fade...

May or may not bring happiness

When we open our hearts to love

We also open ourselves to possible heartache

It is a discovery of will

A determination to hold on

As we scatter feelings without caution

In the quest for love...

Thoughts of self are not entertained

As we give all attention to loving

Hoping against hope that we will be loved

In return...

If we are not, why do we persist?

The answer is embodied in the 'hope' element

Love dwells fervent in hopeful dreams

Keeps us moving forward

Even though we may never reach the horizon.
