Love

Love
03.09.08

Love is like the sun.

It is the center of the solar system.
The planets revolve around it.
It is the source of life, of warmth, of joy.

Yet it also brings drought to unwatered lands.
It brings dryness to one’s soul.
It scorches one’s psyche,
Until it cries for water,
Until it cries for help.
In desperation, for survival…

Love is a many splendor thing,
But love is also terrifying,
Even terrible at times.

Yes, love creates, nourishes, inspires
But it also destroys and shatters and put people in despair.

What love is, one can decide.
And that is the beauty of love.
