Love Simply

Love not gifted, Cannot be amassed; Only in parting, Can we lighten the past. While history is set, The future is yet to be presented; Life without love, Can only be prevented. Love often, Love now, In every word, thought, and deed; We cannot find true pleasure, When embraced with our greed. Voiced or unvoiced, felt or unfelt, Heard or unheard, seen or unseen; The gift of love makes a difference, To any and all in-between.

Thank you Heidi. This is a part of another poem that could stand alone. My early writing's tried to cram too much under one title. By reading other's poetry, it seems that simplicity and sparsity of words can communicate more.
