Does Love Thrive Only In Its Soft Gasping Return

Does Love Thrive Only In Its Soft Gasping Return Does love thrive only in its soft gasping return Nights that its flames reach heavenly sensual burns Can love live in other realms sitting all alone Wearing purple robes, sitting on its golden throne? Can love ever be far more than we dare admit, Far more powerful than the atoms we now split? Shall we search much deeper and intensely explore Trails leading into lands with magical new doors Enter with true courage and traverse unafraid And not with fear unsheathe our ever ready blade? Can love ever be far more than we dare admit, Far more powerful than the atoms we now split? Will we such inner depths dare to gladly embrace? That frightening unknown with bravado thus face? R.J. Lindley, May 11th 1979 Sonnet- ( Questioning Deeper Life, Love And Our Ever Present Fears )
