Love, Not For the Faint of Heart
Where do we go from here?
Is it far or near?
Do we find the path an upward hill?
Or downward slope but still…
it’s all a crazy ride,
This walk…
beside the one I love.
Will the shadows cast
now dissipate or thicken?
Will daylight fall?
Will darkness hasten our steps?
Do we bolt for the nearby, unknown light?
Or take flight?
To the home and hearth we know?
Such is love, my love,
it’s all a crazy, frantic journey
where the daily twists and turns,
days and nights are dizzying
but with you by my side…
Love is hardly for the faint of heart…
is it?
