Footsteps on the stony path,
No impressions of the past,
Some sounds of passers-by...
Some echoes of goodbye.
Footsteps on the sweeping sand,
Pregnant with tears of sea,
Some careless walks down memory lane...
Some, deeper, forever to be.
Footsteps on lonely meadows,
Strangled in deep dead leaves,
Some buried there forever...
Some alive, I'd love to believe.
Footsteps on the clouds of spring,
Footsteps that fly on wings,
Some fragrant with immortal roses...
Some swinging with hearts that sing.
The Mysterious thing called "LOVE"....
If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you,
be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love
just didn't choose to rest in the other person's heart. If you
find someone else in love with you and you don't love him/her,
feel honored that love came and called at your door, but gently
refuse the gift you cannot return. Do not take advantage, do not
cause pain.
How you deal with love is how you deal with you, and all our
hearts feel the same pains and joys, even if our lives and ways
are different.
If you fall in love with another, and he/she falls in love with
you, and then love chooses to leave, do not try to reclaim it or
to assess blame, let it go. There is a reason and there is a
meaning. You will know in time.
Remember that you don't choose love. Love chooses you. All you
can really do is accept it for all its mystery when it comes into
your life. Feel the way it fills you to overflowing, then reach
out and give it away. ive it back to the person who brought it
alive in you. Give it to others who deem it poor in spirit. Give
it to the world around you in anyway you can. There is where many
lovers go wrong. Having been so long without love, they
understand love only as a need. They see their hearts as empty
places that will be filled by love, and they begin to look at
love as something that flows to them rather than from them.
The first blush of new love is filled to overflowing, but as
their love cools, they revert to seeing their love as need. They
cease to be someone who generates love and instead become someone
who seeks love. They forget that the secret of love is that it is
a gift, and that it can be made to grow only by giving it away.
Remember this, and keep it to your heart. Love has its own time,
its own seasons, and its own reason for coming and going. You
cannot bribe it or coerce it, or reason it into saying. You can
only embrace it when it arrives and give it away when it comes to
you. But if it chooses to leave from your heart or from the heart
of your lover, there is nothing you can do and there is nothing
you should do.
Love always has been and always will be a mystery.
Be glad that it came to live for a moment in your life.
"If you want to be happy, be."
