Defining Love 

Everyone searches for Love. In its many forms it can bring happiness, contentment and peace. In these poems I’ve tried to define different kinds of love. One single idea of love is far too much of a generalization. There’s passionate love that drives the need to procreate, there’s the tender and constant love of family, also the love of pets and how we weep for them when they’re no longer with us. There’s the love of all things in Nature. Whatever kind of love we choose, it always comes from the heart. Ultimately, there’s the love radiating from the wondrous Universe which permeates our bones, sinews and every atom of our being. We are all made of the same stuff, this Stardust – this Divine Light.
