I had this conversation recently with my muse concerning my
upcoming 1000th post:

pegasus- any ideas?
muse- about what?
pegasus- my 1000th post
muse- has it really been THAT long?(I must be getting old)
pegasus- quit fooling around
muse-that’s what I’ve been telling YOU(what a twit)
pegasus-well, what about the last one I wrote?
muse- last one? you promise?(too good to be true)
pegasus- very funny. get serious
muse- can he write?
pegasus- who?
muse- serious(heheh)
pegasus- some muse I got stuck with
muse- look at me. I got a horse. sheeze!
pegasus- all right then, if you’re not going to help, I’ll do it
myself
muse- you always do anyway(that’s the problem)
pegasus- ok. one for Valentine’s Day. here goes...
muse-yeah, the neighborhood! (what a twit!)

What Is Love?

My love has no top or bottom or sides

It has no depth or limit of any kind

It does not think or ask questions

It offers no logical answers

It makes no judgements and cannot be judged

It does not lie and knows not when it has been deceived

It creates no pain but, suffers often

It has no ambition nor does it seek advantage

Yet, it is often victimized and used

It neither takes up space nor partakes food

Yet, it nourishes me

It offers comfort

Yet, seeks no reward or aknowledgement

It is never selfish

Yet, it is often deprived of a fair return

It cannot be touched or broken

yet it is delicate and sensitive

It does not speak

Yet, it's message is clear

It cares not for itself nor does it seek shelter

Yet, it remains healthy and vital

It seeks no publicity

Yet, it is known to many, scorned by some, ignored
by others

It knows neither right or wrong, night or day,
law or justice

Yet, it remains pure and simple and innocent

It has no age

Yet, it remains young to its' purpose

It has no beginning, no end

It has no time, no place

It is but a speck in the vastness of the universe

It has no monetary value at all

Yet, it is valuable beyond measure

It is everything I am or ever will be

It is life itself



the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

BRAVO!  BRAVO!! A magnificent 1000th post! Peg, you have outdone yourself on this one! This has to be the most incredible description of love that i've ever read and it is perfect and I love it! You are a poet of great and wonderful gift. Ellie

Oh, Pegasus - truly awesome!  Inspired and inspiring...what a write!


(muse, grumbling in the background -
"That Pegasus - didn't know he had it in him. Shamelessly trying to show me me up...
writes better for 1000 posts than I wrote for 1000 years...
How do I seek forgiveness, ask for pardon?
Will begging work...?")


Just keep them coming, oh profound thinker!
This is a keeper for always!

Great 2 poems actually. What a way to kick off your 1000th post! Woohoo! Yeah. Congrats Pegasus!
I love life too..so so much. There's no greater gift just to experience everything. Just to be born. What a gift! Life is love.

And make us loose the good we oft might win

Congratulations, Pegasus!!!!!  What a fantastic 1000th post!  

This is a great description of love.  I kept thinking of phrases like "seeketh not its own", and "beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things".  Looks like library material to me.     And that muse of yours is something else, too.

Hey Pegasus,
Glad I got to stop by on-line today (tonight) to read this. It's WONDERFUL! I miss reading your words. :- Can't wait till I'm back for good ((ha ha)) and not stuck somewhere off line. Keep it up, hon. Always, Me.

Your time is here. Take one last look at it, then never come back. This part of your life is already over...
