What about Love

What about love -
the silent stalker, night walker,
weaver of dreams,
and fanciful flight
melting reason

with this dangerous dance.

What about love -
in its disguise, breathing sighs,
delivering kisses - 
and the ultimate bliss is
we believe, we believe
............. and surrender.

Most of us are not usually at our best when we are stressed or in situations we don't particularly like. We may react in a negative way by retreating into silence, or by being rude, hostile or antisocial in any number of ways which don't reflect our character or normal way of interacting.  And yet, the flip side of feeling discomfort is that it can be the very motivation we need to change and grow. When we are comfortable we don't always appreciate the positives in our lives, we take them for granted and become complacent. Whilst being settled and at peace, happy with our choices is some...

Empty Air Like time, like sand, like air in my hand your image falls away. Fingers open in a prayer but there is only empty air in my empty hand.
