Capturing Love
The eyes are the first to touch
what the hands cannot feel.
The heart is the first to feel
what the eyes cannot see.
And who can open their eyes and hearts
to understand the difference?
We each have the ability to touch
the love abiding in us all.
To feel the blessings of this love,
rare is the chance to experience purity
in love and accept the sorrow that one day
may come from happiness.
This unfiltered love changes us
if we reach for the fire and hold onto the light.
In the past, I have chosen to be less than vulnerable.
I am trying to allow myself to breathe in
what my senses capture in each moment.
As I feel the breeze in my face and
the challenge of soaring against the wind,
I know, the expressions of my heart
and the love I embody are meant to be shared.
