Love

I cannot tell you what love is for it is not tangible like cement but I can tell you this you cannot beg for it borrow it nor rent I never did quite figure out what makes it come what makes it go one thing I know for sure is this, when I near it I begin to glow Love is not an easy word to whisper in the thick of angered rage nor is it something you can slip between the lines of a written page Love is to be lived without devour from patience to understanding you need to treat it like gold, if its to be your Lancelot of everlasting I could never pin the moment of love's conception nor when it died but the one thing I did realize with age is this, if its real its bona fide if life is a gift, love is the all enduring essence of all that is good in me and I cannot imagine giving it to someone, without giving it for free I cannot tell you what love is for sure, but I can tell you its all I need love is a two sided sword, it makes you happy or it makes you bleed I never did quite figure out what makes it come what makes it go but one thing I know for sure is this, when I near it I begin to glow.

Pixie, I'm shook up by your true, and wise words. They are really speaking to me right now. The mystery and whimsy, so well expressed... Treating it like gold,... a reminder I need. A beautiful universal write.
