An Inseparable Love
Love is a spirited emotion
that stirs the heart…
It is a connecting power
of lasting friendship.
Love is a smile that comes
from the depth of the soul;
its penetration is a warm feeling
that is all yours;
when shadows of sorrow bring sadness,
love embraces with a comforting assurance
that you’re not alone in your pain…
I understand this, and so do you:
For this is an inseparable love
you and I share.

Dear John, how accurately you describe the way love brings us comfort and joy. I especially enjoyed the lines: "Love is a smile that comes
ReplyDeletefrom the depth of the soul." I had never thought of it this way before, but it's true. I was not surprised to learn you are a retired language arts teacher. I taught creative writing and journalism, so I know when I spot a pro. Well done! Best wishes, Carolyn Devonshire

When one is surrounded with true love, the soul is content. Without it one drifts from place to place trying desperately to stay afloat. Beautiful words...
