An Elusive Dream

How does one describe true love But a feeling deep down in your soul Intangible, a mystery, a true enigma We're all actors playing a role It's why this world keeps turning round Been repeated a million times A truer truth has never been uttered The ultimate in feelings sublime Imagine a world without this treasure An armada of empty vessels Floating along on a nothingness sea Or riding life's precarious trestle My love and I are truly fortunate To have found this illusive dream An enigma that's puzzled this old world Since man came upon the scene Trying to define the meaning of love Is like trying to describe the wind We feel the effects that both can have But the visual comes from within It's only a matter of perseverance Love eventually will come your way Take heart and show a little patience Soon you'll be dancing love's ballet

Wow...this piece is so beautiful and flows so effortlessly. I really treasure that third stanza. Your gentle, poetic optimism shines lovely in this masterpiece. I love how you bring back perseverance, and make it a statement in your last stanza. I am so impressed. I will remember your birthday; August 11th - born with the sunshine on high no doubt! Mine is December 13th. Think it fits me. Hehe. Love this gem... it made my evening. : ) <3 Always, Laura
