A Discovery of Will

A Discovery of Will

~~At a time when love occurs
Matters are often confused
Transitions are made without thought
Maybe that is the only way...
To love...

A heady time of passion
In a fabulous den of wonder
That may or may not fade...
May or may not bring happiness

When we open our hearts to love
We also open ourselves to possible heartache
It is a discovery of will
A determination to hold on
As we scatter feelings without caution
In the quest for love...

Thoughts of self are not entertained
As we give all attention to loving
Hoping against hope that we will be loved
In return...
If we are not, why do we persist?

The answer is embodied in the 'hope' element
Love dwells fervent in hopeful dreams
Keeps us moving forward
Even though we never reach the horizon.
