Yes, all forces of nature over which we have no control. Great parallels drawn between the elements of nature and those of the heart. Well done.

How beautifully right you are, Reg! Whether it's the chemistry mixture that is just right, or cupid's arrow hitting it's mark, once overwhelming love hits us, there is no turning back...and that's a wonderful event in our lives! Kudos to you, friend, for this poetic explanation of love...

This poem is screaming to keep going. The last two lines seem abrupt and do not close the poem. The title does not do this poem justice. The point I get from the poem is that love is comparable to nature. Nature can be random and elements can erupt or move at anytime. It is uncontrollable. With telling what is unknown, the closing needs to something that is known. An expression of how natural the love is and how uncontrolled the speaker is.

WOW. If you didn't catch that, let me say it again...WOW. And you are 100 percent correct. We can't help who we love...life would be easier if we could. But I think that if we had that ability, much of the sweetness and flavor that we expect from life would be lost...so it's not a design flaw by any means. Incredible piece. You just get better and better my friend. Love you, Michelle
