Have humans always loved?
Have we always loved as we now do?
Will there always be a forever love? And
is it true – as they say, love conquers all?
What is this love, which we feel but not see?
Or do we see love? How long do we love?
What is the paradox of such love?
Is it that we have only one word
for so many different loves and types of?

“…I would like to beg you … to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves … to live everything. Live the questions now … then, someday … you will gradually … live your way into the answer.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903, Letters to a Young Poet.
For all things and every day, but most especially in love, look both ways.
The gaps will always be there — in your mind.
Live into your answers.
Love-ly poem, Bill.
