The Face of Love

I have seen the face of Love

I’ve stared into the crystal depths of Its gaze
And found myself

Love stared back at me
~Unwavering ~
until I turned away

and ran

           and ran

                      and ran

straight into Its arms
where I was made new again

I have seen the face of Love
It looks a lot like you

Danny, it shows, does it?

Corazon, there is always hope out there.  I've found that I generally run into the very things I'm trying to run FROM.

Sven, that's your challenge!  The Voice of Love.  

Mike, thank you for reading and replying.

Amy, I've got more stashed around Passions in various places, but this is the first that I've written in several months.  Thank you.

Tara~
And when you surface ...
it's a delight.
I really enjoyed your presentation
in this piece.

Balladeer, it's nice to know I've been missed!

Marge, a delight?  I'm blushing! Thank you.
