Picture by Josephine Wall

* * *

Love makes sour things turn sweet
And turns copper into gold
When you are touched by love
Your heart will be sold

Love makes cloudiness turn clear
It is a remedy for pain
You cannot live without it
Love is a necessary gain

By love the dead are brought to life
And a king is made a slave
Love is needed by us all
It is something we all crave

Love intensifies all colors
As it turns dull into bright
Love can mend a broken heart
And to the blind love gives sight

Love gives feelings like no other
It sparks passion and desire
Love cannot be measured
It is the match that lights the fire

Love flows throughout your veins
It is the nucleus of your being
Until you're touched by love
You simply are not seeing

* * *

"I never knew how to worship
until I knew how to love"

I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Sue, this is spot on!

Ready to be framed, packed and delivered.

This is yet, another favorite of mine.

Take Great Care,
I hope all is well,

Richy

(big angel hugs) God Bless You, sweet friend, I still dream so much of receiving this love from someone special so I can see kaleidoscopes of blessings everywhere! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sue You should put all your poetry in a book and have it published, words of wisdom!

You are so full of love and I hope love comes to you and finds you, makes you happy, you deserve to be so happy when sharing so much love!

love and hugs


Open your eyes, open your mind, open your heart, let me come in and show you love.....~ARH
