The moving finger writes; and having writ, moves on: nor all thy piety nor wit shall lure it back to cancel half a line nor all thy tears wash out a word of it." |

.....................................................................................................
The swallows, swifts and house martins have returned again
back to their summer houses in the sun
a round trip of ten thousand miles
they know love has no bounds
and the parameters of sentiment are fluid
I quietly reflect, and muse on the future
knowing the die has been cast from the start
all those preambles and false dawns
were just a precursor to you
and like the spider spins his web
with wondrous gossamer threads
and swifter than the peregrine falcon can fly
with flapping and whirring wings
you have spread your encompassing magic
deep within this tender man's heart
for all my life I have wondered
just how love would really feel
would it sweep me off my feet
and spin me just like a carousel
or is it just a beguiling reflection of infatuation
a fleeting ghost and phantom still
all I know is that love is indefinable
there is no golden rule
and like the ant that scales the hill
there is another one that will fail
but you sweetheart came unannounced
straight out of the vast blue sky
catching me quite unawares
just like lightning strikes the ground
and now the answers are all delivered
by an angel who carries your name

back to their summer houses in the sun

they know love has no bounds" <grin> Beautiful, beautiful.
Indeed Love knows no bounds and it completely removes the yoke of fear that keeps the human heart inprisoned in itself. Love is the untaming of the heart, the free souls greatest gift, and the spirit of life pounding furiously in the world longing to touch another heart with the gladness, peace and joy that is uncomparable to any other grace we are give in this earth.
God Bless
