   Give Love Another Chance

We are as dark ships passing
in the boundless midnight sea
on a moonless, starless eve.
Perhaps a momentary sound ...
another distant, lonely voice
echoing through infinite Time
then again the cloying silence.
How rarely in our lives do we
truly open our hearts?
Sad it seems if one has never
   loved at all
or sadder still perhaps, to have
loved and let it slip away.
Hold fast to your dreams
and keep a place in your
   heart
for the magic of all such
little things that may or
may not prove true and
always, always give Love
   another  chance!

Yep. Gotta saddle up and ride back into the arms of another love. Either that or wither away unloved.

I felt like one of those "passing ships" once and I was comfortable in that feeling.

Then the periscopes started popping up and I saw a rush of water heading straight for me!

I survived the onslaught and have been in a *POL camp ever since.

...you oughta see the Commandant!

You always write the most inspiring and gentle poetry. Don't let me louse it up!

Love can be a wonderful thing or so I've heard.
