The nature of love ...

[sound]

Lets try again ... a thread for expressions of love ...

Maybe through an image or a verse or a story or a quote ...

Maybe you want to ask a question about love ...

Maybe you want to express in words what love is for you ...

Here ya go (again) Curt ... 'specially for you :)

There's a reason for the sunshinin' sky
And there's a reason why I'm feelin so high
Must be the season when that love light shines
All around us.

So let that feelin grab you deep inside
And send you reelin where your love can't hide
And then go stealin' through the moonlit nights
With your lover.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season.

Letyour love fly like a bird on wing
And let your love bind you to all livin things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason.

There's a reason for the warm sweet nights
And there's a reason for the candlelights
Must be the season when those love lights shine
All around us.

So let that wonder take into space
And lay you under its loving embrace
Just feel the thunder as it warms your face
You can't hold back.

Just let your love flow like a mountain stream
And let your love grow with the smallest of dreams
And let your love show and you'll know what I mean
It's the season.

Let your love fly like a bird on wing
And let your love bind you to all livin things
And let your love shine and you'll know what I mean
That's the reason...

Love is for sharing ... as is revealed through caring

People say animals dont feel love but i don't know so much ... they may not think in terms of love but how do we know that they dont experience life-sustaining love ... and not only for their own 'kind' ...

Okay! I love the chickens and the little girl. So cute.

And I love that song...was trying to place the melody as I read the words and ~ kaching! I remembered how wonderfully that song flowed! Ty sound~*

Soneto XVII -- Pablo Neruda

No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio
o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.
Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva
dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.
Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,
te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,
sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,
tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.


Sonnet XVII -- Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way in which there is no I or you
so close that your hand upon my chest is my hand
so intimate that your eyes close when I sleep.

I remember Robin Williams as Patch Adams, reading that to his love in that movie. He did it so nicely, a silly man, reading such a deep love poem.
