A PATHWAY TO LOVE

A PATHWAY TO LOVE

Love is like a dream 
When you least expect it 
It creeps up upon you invading your thoughts 

It's a private experience at first
As you allow yourself to be swallowed whole 
By the excitement, intrigue and lures of love 

But like a dream that must come to its end
You must awake out of sleep 
And follow the the desires of your heart 
Never being afraid to love

As you recall bits and pieces a dream 
That lingers around the shifting shadows 
Of your mind 
Even so, the fantasies of love 
That once colored your heart so beautifully 
Must be embraced 

Allow love to take  the preeminence
Over your very life
Even though it may disrupt the norm 
Or cause you to walk as a  blind man 
Into immense darkness 

Despite the dangers 
It is better to love
Than to dwell in its illusions 
And fantasies.

Wilford Barker.
