‘twas just a flash in the pan that begat a spark of belief but the pan too long on the heat sent the spark soaring skyward roaring its need like a lion in the throes of agony. This spark now turned to a flame licked and danced, changed its stance, in its march to a better place but, lo and behold, the saviour, life armed with a bucket of sand killed the progression of love and brought it back down to earth. The pan didn’t care; it’s not like it can when made to withstand the heat and be merely a solid foundation for what surely must follow on but someone stood by to make it like new and start flames in another abode. And it’s like this pan’s on a mission to enflame everyone’s mind while remaining the same as before in total denial and rejection of the wilfulness of its deeds. We’ve all had a pan somewhere, sometime, that’s given rise to a lowly spark but then to witness love’s sure death makes of the march a mockery. Love dies like that lion in agony but it rises again into stubborn avowal to not ever again suffer the heat whether real or imaginary. Love is cool and learning to be a non-existent tool in the affairs of the human heart bent on staying apart from the heat of internal and eternal original blueprints of soul!

Dear Helen, your inquiring mind is quite an inspiration to your great poetic performances! I think love NEVER dies, because it IS, but it is a question of awareness that makes it significant to us or not. Love and hugs. Margherita  |

Fascinating analogy. I prefer love to spark in a slow-cooker. Nice and easy and tender and lasts for a long time. A flash in a pan is showy ~ but short-lived!  Love to you, Honey! Linda |
