Poem - Love is a Journey


Love is a journey

I have matured into love
three times in my life,
and have discovered with each
a freedom beyond measure.

Each time it happened
I was left wondering;
What did really happen?
Why was I feeling this way?

It took some time to realize
that what I was feeling
was a sense of exuberant goodness
about myself and my life.

The simple fact that I loved someone
made my world a little lovelier,
gave my life a purpose,
and put a spring in my step.

Making love a gift rather than a request
is the highest expression of freedom.
It releases us and gives our spirit wings.
It shows us the real beauty of ourselves and the person we love.

As a result I have decided that
love is a journey towards itself,
that we have no real control over it,
but that it can be the ride of a lifetime if we take it.

To fall into love is common.
To rise into love is exquisite.
To mature into love changes us
and our view of the world forever...
