When I was young
And at the centre
Of my universe,
Falling in love was
A pass time I partook of
With casual acceptance.
Now, that wisdom has found me,
I see the truth of what love is.
It is not a casual dalliance;
A brief encounter where only
The mind and body touch.
It is the life's blood that
Ebbs and flows thru
Everything around us,
Binding us, heart and soul.
We are all connected
Like the intricate lines
Of a finely woven fabric.
I am but a strand;
Love is the tapestry of life.
