Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 A poem my Mom wrote that I would like to share. " Love " What are you thinking and feeling my restless people? Does your mind and persona drift as the river bends and twists, fighting the curves and swells of in it's own restrictions. What are you looking for, in a world filled with chaos? Where people walk like strangers floating mindlessly among each other, as the tumbleweed mingles amongst it's own carried along joylessley by a floor of useless grief, while the sand bites at their limbs. Does love ever enter into your leaking alleys of thought? Or do the images of the past carry you across the stagnant ponds of regret and remorse that make you so private and forlorn. Love is the air around us that replaces these ponds of pain. It's the rising of truth and warmth that carries our bodies and souls. Love is like a rainbow that fills the skies with brilliant color. Love is the remembrance of little quiet moments that reflect back to us. Love is a new leaf that uncurls into it's own beautiful shape, thanking his creator of all things. One must learn to love again, to stay alive and grow. To reach out to this multiple sea of souls that have been beaten down by life, and love them. Mankind walks in darkness, it won't entirely see the light until we leave these cumbersome bodies behind and walk towards the light, and then only then, will we see the true essence of Love.
