Air is the most amazing thing;
it holds the core of who you are
and suffers one to know of love
not really, really, here.

And really, really, my despair
at knowing love’s not here
has closed the valves, stopped the flow,
and caused a blockage in the heart.

But really, really, blockages
are simply there until they’re not
and this I know because the air
whispers love into despair.

I listen sometimes ardently
and turn my mind into the air
but really, really, I can’t say
who speaks the words I do not hear.

But really, really, words can mean
sometimes what they don’t
so into feel I slide my mind
hoping there to know the plot.

But really, really, there’s no plot
that alters life’s so merry lot
for I am here and you are there
and love’s not really here!

Love is neither here or there ~ Love is evertywhere! Mind you, it can be in rather limited quantity in some area!

But, Hellen, my friend, wherever you go it is in ample supply because you carry love within you and shine it out upon the world!

May the love that you radiate be returned to you ten-fold!

Loveya!

Thanks, Linda and Lindsay!  Love is indeed everywhere - everywhere in the air and we breathe it in but most times don't feel it going down, down, down, into that place of knowing.

Ahhhh, the mystery of here and there! So aptly penned!  Thank you.

I KNOW huh? It's cool in the fall and it's freezy meezy in the winter and it's warm in the spring and hot in the summer!

Just amazing, **sigh**

Thank you for this

"so into feel I slide my mind"

Great line!

Take a deep breath, and sniff around ... you will feel the love.

Enjoyed!

Yes Linda said it perfectly as she always does breathe deep, and fill your lungs with love

Thanks everyone for reading and for commenting.  Just when I think I really understand 'love' it escapes me.  I guess because it likes being everywhere.
