Love…
…may come and stay, but always remains free to come or go. It can never be caged or contained nor made to happen or be bought. Love is elusive if chased yet never far away. It is a gift above all others.
English novelist and poet Charlotte Bronte
Happiness
unshared
can
scarcely
be
called
happiness;
it
has
no
taste.
Love…
…makes no sense. It is illogical, uncertain, tentative, hard and often sorrowful. Love makes sense. It is logical, certain, sure, easy and happy. Love is a beautiful paradox of opposites.
“I Know Not” by James Browning
Is it her smile or the curl of her hair?
I really can’t tell yet, I’m still unaware.
Why like iron to magnet am I pulled her way?
I have no logic about that which I can display.
It is tenderness of her hand’s gentle touch?
That answer I wish I knew so very much.
Why like an angel does she appear to me?
I know sure its true, yet no proof do I see.
Is it her kiss or body next to mine in a hug?
That certain answer is only known high above.
Why is she near yet so distant and far away?
Only guesses I offer, No answer can I say.
Is she going to be with me never or soon?
At near Noon or at night under a bright moon?
Is she running away from me, never to return?
I know not except for her I yearn and yearn.
Love…
…like wind, snow, sun and rain is a force of nature, but it’s the only one felt from the inside out as it blows, snows, burns and falls within.
Musician and poet John Lennon
There are two basic motivating forces:
fear and love.
When we are afraid,
we pull back from life.
When we are in love,
we open to all that life
has to offer with
passion, excitement, and acceptance.

I love…
…better, deeper and more profoundly with age, yet with more trepidation and fear. While I am cautious beyond explanation I am grateful you got past my defenses and opened my heart to know love again.
By an anonymous author
To love
a person
is to learn
the song
that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them
when they
have forgotten.
