Love Is Life
Love is Life…
Love is more than a feeling, more than a warmth in the heart, more than a smile, or a touch, or a whisper
Love is on the bow of a heaving ship while sailing to shore, the smell of the salt air and tang of the sea spray, the music in your mind as the lights of the distant shore flicker with coming possibilities
Love is the porpoise swimming in front of the ship as he guides you, the mermaid you imagine in your dreams, the seagull following behind waiting for a scrap of your affection, the moon breaking through on a stormy night
Love is when the anchor holds and the taxi boat makes way towards the nearest dock, the smells of cooking and people you have never met before, the sounds of a foreign land, freedom for a short while
Love is that first shot of whiskey chased with a cold beer, the night folks so glad to see you, the band playing Hotel California, the girls smiling and flashing those eyes
Love is life.
