-- Love -- by John Herlihy An emptiness An absence A wish A desire A loneliness A longing A meeting A spark A flicker A flame A torch A blaze A ring of love That glows as White hot embers That mellow and cool Into dust and ash Lifted into the air Taken by the wind To blow away Into the emptiness Love right there In the heart of things In the wind and air In the breath and spirit Of life - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Thursday 23 November 2023

Lovely. And, John, another time when we were both thinking on similar planes as my post this morning was "Creation's Artifacts" which dealt with some of the same impressions.
