Where There Is Love

Far away from her, far from comfort zone
He goes there, where life beckons him
Remaining true to purpose and meaning
Atop the mountains or deep in the valleys
Revering her love, as he journeys alone.

Maneuvering around life's dead-ends
In wayward motion of destiny's u-turns,
Avenues she illuminates besting darkness--
Being his street-lamp, patently she burns.

When forces somber aim to deter him
Bravely she appears readying her valor
Standing by him, in step with his shadow.

He sees her all-over, where there is love.

A soul who spares no effort to be "away from comfort zone" is a soul that seeks a life full of purpose and meaning.. a soul open to change and growth.. a soul whose core is ignited "where there is love".. A gripping beauty unfolding the light, the depth and the power of Love.. My deepest wishes. Stay blessed always dear Vijay.
