Q. and A

she asked
what is life without love?
the winds answered
no life at all

what is love with out proof
the waters answered
no love at all

what is proof without telling
the earth answered
no proof at all

she asked 
what is telling without truth
the fires answered
no truth at all

she asked
what am i without love
the spirits answered 
 -- simply ashes

Oh....awsome flow @.@ and the last words echo...a lot...constructing other boxes in the laterals of a human head @.@ thanks a lot for the experience. Indeed, without love people are nothing more than frightened ashes, yet most persons have limited the meaning of love a lot. @.@
