Love cannot be found without intent
but even so it cannot be seen
because in essence it’s simply space,
the space between the known,
colourless and clear.

Now, the colourless and clear
is fluid in its way
and travels the grid lines
of connectivity
seeking like an germ
to further its expansion.

Love is then a germ
immune to penicillin
growing out of proportion
to the needs of humankind
and the rest, remainder, residue,
like garbage on a dump.

Now, the garbage changes form
and disintegrates
and the population grows
out of proportion
to love’s availability.

‘tis a vicious cycle on and on
until the demand
matches the production line
and not the other way
because love is a germ …
yeah – as above!

(When there’s work I work but when not I ramble.  The trouble is that both scenarios these days are for … love.  I hope that one will at least pay eventually.)

Well, you say that with your usual intelligence and acumen, as well as humour. Let us just hope that love, as you define it, may be highly contagious!

When there is work I work but .... oh, you too?!

Pay? Can't be ordered, can't be paid ... I know I know, you didn't mean that, but what I want to say is LOVE always pays. Now does that make sense ...

Love and hugs.

Hi Margherita - "Contagious" - perhaps not in this day and age.  People work for other things like houses, cars, etc., etc., but one can't blame them.  Love infects when it is meant to and sometimes we can even die from it.     

Hmm?  The reward in heaven?  Sometimes one can miss out key factors when doing projections but I wanna get paid NOW so perhaps I'll die!  

Love

A very thought provoking write
dear Helen, but love can be seen, seen in

the way we treat other people and also seen in the way we treat our pets, but love is

also something that we feel and it is the greatest feeling of all. Love to you my dear.

Hmmm, you want to get paid for "love"? ~ There's a name for that profession! LOL Sorry, I couldn't help myself! My 'halo' is held up by little horns!

~ and that kind of love can be highly contagious! Oh, no! There I go again. Please forgive me!

Love you!

Thanks AC, Lindsay, and Linda!

Linda - you're naughty but sweet!  I'm not getting paid for the work I do (not yet at any rate) and as for love, I do think one gets paid for it but perhaps only when life is done because here if it's not given for free then it isn't love, is it?  And my stories - well, maybe I'm just the voice of love - one of the voices in this big wide world.
