The gifted, the wise, the pastors, the wives, the noblemen, preachers, and poor humble beings, turn feelings to words in attempts to describe the emotion of love, if there such a thing be. Not gifted or wise, no longer a wife, I stumble through love with the pen of my mind. It’s lacking in substance and cannot be seen yet in the market it barters a give and take fee but the fee is a feeling exchanged for free so it could be construed as an invalid deal. Too it is given with no earthly reward so the gold in our hearts must be ill gotten gains and the castles it builds are made out of air so, therefore, love’s castles are not meant to be. It doesn’t have legs to cross the divide between mother earth and heavenly sky so it’s surely not love when we think we see stars. If love is the greatest, who taught it to play sweet lilting music to which we all sway? Its mission I’ll say, but then won’t deny it, is to find a “something” that’s missing inside us but whichever, however, it destructs if ignored and, therefore, must be as if it was not. What is love? It’s a thought, an idea, a wishing to be, a prayer, a hope, and the longing in me, but if one day it knocked, would I even know? Would you? Helen |

Interesting thoughts beautifully weaved together, dear Helen! Michael too will enjoy it! Love IS. It is the life giving force and we are meant to share it with every breath, sometimes we simply are unaware. Love and hugs. Margherita |

For me!?! Ahhh Why thank you.... "What is love?" thats a big question , That I believe can only be answered by you wanting to know very much. It's your own opinion, once you got it, share it with other people so they can all have one big paragraph on what love is. Yes, I do believe that when Love is gone from you, I think you would feel it dearest Helen, because the ones we truly love won't be in our hearts anymore and thats VERY noticeable lol  Love is a powerful Force in the human mind and body and Soul. Lovely Write Helen, I really enjoyed reading you're thoughts on this subject! ~May love fill you're life  to youARCTIC WIND |

Thanks Sea, Msrgherita, and AC! This was written many years ago and I must admit to being no wiser now. I guess it's true that love "is" and what it is and why it is perhaps not necessary to know - just feel it. We all soldier on regardless though. Hugs Helen |
