When I stand by the river that’s really a stream and throw in a rock that’s really a pebble, I watch how the water ripples outward in glee and I ask of myself, “Is it laughing at me?” When I look at the mountain that’s really a hill and the trees, really bushes, wave back at me, I see how their shadows extend length and breadth and I ask of myself, “Am I more than I seem?” When I don’t really dream but really can feel how the movement of air tenses nerve ends of me, I know there’s a thought in the ether of time and I ask of myself, “What’s happening now?” When I am tired, really tired, fast asleep and awake to the moon that’s really the sun I know I was shown how love really can be and I ask of myself, “Can this ever be real?” When it’s all happening and I’m really asleep and the more than I seem is really in love, I can’t help but laugh, really laugh till I cry, for really, you know, nothing really is real! |

Helen "When it’s all happening and I’m really asleep and the more than I seem is really in love, I can’t help but laugh, really laugh till I cry, for really, you know, nothing really is real!" Nothing is real, because it's gone before we can even hold on to it....gone, or changed...except love.  |

Oh, I like the skip of this... I felt like Alice in the house with the potions...first I'm large, and then I'm small, and then I'm just right again... A definite  Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close... |

Hi Martie and Sunshine. Thanks so much for the read. I think love is a very sneaky thing - it has so many components to it and never shows itself in totality at one time. We just manage to grasp one part and then, as you say, it's gone - but not really gone. |
