When Love Appeared


Time can't always tell
when love will choose to emerge
Love has its own rhythm of conception,
which is timeless as creation ...
a force of nature undeterred
Spring can always be foreseen
by the budding of the flowers,
and the singing of the birds
This is not so with love;
its voice can arise in the heart
at any time, unchallenged ... undeterred
Love has no boundaries,
it can manifest itself in any season
Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall
Love can take root and grow in them all
When love appears,
it rushes in like a restless tide,
sweeping all other concerns aside
It's like being caught in a swirling sandstorm,
try as you may to shield your eyes,
there's still no place for your heart to hide
Don't try to run away from love,
don't try to hesitate and delay falling in love
Love is the ultimate conqueror of pride
When love appeared,
your soul was reborn
and all of your fears died
