The Qualities of Love..

Love can be
like crashing waves and rushing rapids or
like a gentle stream, a quiet pond,
It can burn fierce like a blazing fire
or be comforting like a warm blanket,
wrapped snuggly around you on a cold night.
It can be powerful like a stampede of wild horses
or be soft like a flock of white doves.
It can be all consuming passion, driving you with wild abandon
or , calm and comforting, a lifeline through rough waters
But whatever shape it takes, true love is strong like a majestic mountain,
ever present and lifting you higher.
Smooth and flowing deep like a river, supporting you with gentleness.
Peaceful like an open meadow, drawing you to rest...
and always constant.. like the Spring after a harsh Winter..
bringing new life and joy to everyone it touches.
Love can be so many things ...
but in the end it is the only thing that sustains.
