To Love
To hold your love in your arms
To know she loves you
To know she needs you
as you her
To brush your hands
Your cheek against hers
To gently touch her lips with yours
To feel that gentle, but electric sensation
pass between those lips
that touch
with the sincerity of love.
To feel the warmth and closeness
That is present
can only be,
when two people
truly love,
care for
and
are totally committed
to each other.
The feeling,
The sensation,
The life
The caring,
The love,
The joy of sharing,
The giving to the other
Not of obligation,
But of total love,
You must give her every reason
To know that you are welcoming her
To all aspects of your life
To share that which is you
and
That which is her.

The Ponte Vecchio, Florence, Italy
SandyPoint, New Zealand
The sun is setting.
One can hear the surf as it rolls in where whalers used to enter.
The ancient smells still hang in the air, as they must have years ago.
The bush is dense, barely allowing a body to penetrate it.
The cry of the shore birds, as they prepare to nestle down.
The soft lap of the water, as the tide creeps into the bay.
All is at peace, we walk back down the wooden steps,
....................and into the waiting twilight.

Moon Setting in Death Valley
Moon Setting in Death Valley
Are we on the earth looking at the moon?
Or,
are we on the moon looking back at the earth?
In either way,
we can envision our place in the universe.
We are as insignificant as the grain of sand,
and yet,
as a person,
a human being,
we are very significant,
each and everyone of us.
In the overall,
we are small,
but in the individual,
we are so much more.
The life we have to give,
the love we have to give and share,
the compassion and understanding that we must give
and
must share with others
are so important
and
only achieve
in the giving and sharing.
While we may appear isolated,
we are not.
We can no more isolate ourselves from society,
from others,
than can the grains of sand in the desert.
Who and what we are is meant to be shared.
Love can and must be shared,
else it is not love in the true sense.
