In response to a letter from a friend


love

with
out life
there can
be no death
without life
there can be no
love without love
death can fill our
life with fear but
love and fear are not
inevitable love conquers
fear as light darkness
love fills the pool of
life with purpose and
succour and passion
for the journey of
life which can
only ever have
one end but
love can
yet be
heaven

Mark J. Wood
Or Hell.

One thing's for sure: it makes the difference.

A subtle one; it's one that relies a great deal on the reader and they are the satisfyingly lasting type. First read-through made me feel that it was saying what we all know but the second let me smell the cinnamon.

Mark.
