Perhaps

Perhaps

that love flies by on silver wings
what hurts the most is how it stings
but rise we must for love it brings
us lonely little ding a lings...
supporting words are ever sought
prattling of some brighter thought
round and round it rattles till
the keyboard forms and words instil
love you mate and I ain’t bent
 you be a shiela heaven sent

Love can sting sometimes, Don, but how can we live without it? I love the way you describe the words expressing love as prattling around until they take form. Awesome poem, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
