What is this interloper that steals in
silent as a cat
and strikes swiftly as a viper?

Tell me, what is this interloper that stalks
surely as a hunting lion
and as relentless as a pit bull?

Oh, please, tell me, what is this interloper that evokes:
laughter and tears,
joy and despair,
pleasure and pain,
excitement and despondence,
triumph and defeat,
aspiration and apathy,
and …. Hope?

Always … hope.

What name to give this …  interloper?

LOVE


Love is.

Love comes and love goes. I do feel it is better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all.

Indubitably. Well Written.

Upon thy slumber shall intrude,
Our thoughts, our souls- O God above!
In every deed shall mingle, love."
