This world we live in has many rewards,
Clothes, food and shelter are things we work for.
In living each day these basics we need
Plus things that give us a way to succeed.
Life must have meaning above all of this
Are we able to find it? that’s part of the quest.
Like owls in the dark or hawks in the sky
Born free like the wind our spirits must fly.
Offering us visions of much sweeter things,
Our hearts are renewed by that which love brings.
Our strength to survive, revives the sublime
Helps us to flourish by reshaping time ~
Sweet is the virtue that rises above
Harmony that’s free ~ shared by those who love ...

Author notes
"O love is the crooked thing,
There is nobody wise enough
To find out all that is in it,
For he would be thinking of love
Till the stars had run away"...Yeats
Love is the question, love is the answer!
