Wherein Lies the Love Betwixt, between mirror’s sheen somewhere in starshine’s moonbeam Does therein lie the love? In babe’s heartbeat in scotch glass neat somewhere in love letters sweet Does therein lie the love? In rosebud lips or in draught sipped somewhere in a beloved’s fingertips Does therein lie the love? Are you heaven bent to see love lent somewhere in a room for rent Does therein lie the love? If you be but true to the love close to you, therein lies the love. If you chase the fears and not cause the tears therein lies the love. If you see past the haze of lust’s gray craze therein lies the love. If you looked into my soul and became one with me, whole, therein lies the love. And when death’s door beckons and the day comes to reckon therein lies the Love. 21 July 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel < !signature--> Sunny ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Dear Karilea: How wondefully true and so deep and very romantic. True love expressed so beautifully. I love this poem. Sigh! Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

I think you answered the question quite well. And beautifully I might add. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |
