Seas of love


Never mind their overwhelmingness,
just let them come and drown you,
overturn you, knock you down and beat you,
it is only healthy, it will only do you good,
no matter how horrendous hells they offer you,
no matter how much you will be demolished and destroyed,
no matter how repetitously you will constantly be driven over,
killed, reduced to cinders and annihilated,
since love will survive and manage anyway
and keep you floating just as long as you keep loving;
for the wonder is, that love in all its overwhelming floods
will ever keep you buoyant –
so just rock along, enjoy your swim and follow down the stream,
and at least I can assure you,
you will definitely end up somewhere.

i continue to hold my breath and swim coming up for air only as necessary. Without love there would be no breath to take or worth taking. Thanks for the encouragement.

Risking pain and suffering for love. Some of us are so addicted to love that we constantly accept the attendent risk and move to the flame with deliberateness and full knowledge that the strong possibility of hurt sits there awaiting along side the wonderful treasure of love. Let it ever be so!
