The Gift of Love

The gift of love heard in her words, like hummingbirds that flutter by, lift hearts up high. The gift of love seen in her eyes leads dreams to rise beyond control within my soul. The gift of love felt in her heart starts to impart a melody inside of me. July 22, 2021

For sure...love is often a path unchartered -- but the journey always worth one's taking, when love is all that is recalled and cherished, even in the passing. Great write my friend!

Congratulations on your win John. I love the sense of the ever progressing essence of love. This romantic piece has such a sense of the movement of the heart. The words "lift," "lead," "start," "rise" all contribute to that sense of movement. Blessings.

Thank you so much for your insight, Sam, I always like when someone sees something in my writing that I didn't. I would like to say I planned it that way but I really didn't. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. John
