           Reason to Be
            
Only True Love’s finest moments
give 'Time' any meaning,
remaining in memory
both ‘moving’....yet immovable,
not desiring....but desirable,
anchoring self within selflessness.
We are as the Phoenix ...
able to rise again by new love
from the ashes of burned roses
mid sounds of distant mandolins
with notes in sliding harmony
and chords of liquid passion
burning like fire and moonlight ...
Love is yet the 'reason to be!'

The romance and belief in ever lasting love is tangible with this write. Memories of love are sharper in the mind than 30 seconds ago and while we have such memories we can still have hope when sometimes all seems lost, love is the salve of this crazy world.

Thank you for reminding me....with these fine words...

This is a very beautiful poem, Bruce.  

Fortunately for me (giggles), I don't share your opinion because if I did, and I was dependent on somebody loving me for being happy and having a reason to live, I would have been miserable every moment of my life and I would never have had a reason to live - lol and more giggles!  

I know my silly words can't spoil the beautiful ambiance and message of your poem, or I would never had said them.

I believe this is one of, if not "the" best poems I have ever red of yours, Bruce.

Very nice that Jerry brought this up to the top again, giving me the opportunity to enjoy it, deeply so.

Love allows spirit to bloom, like water allows life to exist.

Most beautiful.

Awesome.

Love is 'reason to be' ...as well as being the reason for 'being'...
