Love Stood Apart
Some yearn for the return of friendlier times;
when we valued innocence,
and computers didn't run our lives.
But progress is the crucible that creates change
and change is the catalyst for improvement.
Unlike an unknown tomorrow;
yesterday was molded into permanence:
and, thus, unchangeable.
As memories sweeten with age:
images of youth,
are brought to the forefront of our minds.
Life is a series of memories,
and though they're not always pleasant,
they are, nonetheless, welcomed.
Unlike the emotions they evoke,
conflicting beliefs
are insignificant in the scope of things.
Yet, how we deal with them,
shapes the way we choose to live.
When we opened our eyes for the first time,
we entered a world of emotions:
such as trust, fear, anger, love, jealousy,
greed, and hope, to name but a few.
But love stood apart from all the others,
illuminating the shadows of reality,
while guiding our hearts towards our souls.
