Its meaning is contagious

when all else is failing,

lives seem to unravel,

a moment of loss,

a second further,

and there are more

and more even,

the rippling of our emotions,

shed light upon

each other,

and when we turn,

begin to love,

suddenly that persona

we are so afraid of

becomes attractive,

asks for more,

but instead of seeking,

just becomes,

lets everything around us

have reason

to be party to the beauty,

this wonderful nature,

the embrace of love.
