No reason is needed for loving…

No reason is needed for loving…
Love is not black or white…
It does not live in symbols or sacred places…
It lives within you.

I know, like me, you have gazed at the heavens…
Focusing on one star and then another…
Choosing a star to follow…
Replacing your longing with hope…
Replacing your heartache with love.

Love does not go according to tradition…
Sometimes appearing only in patches of color…
I gather these patches and put them together…
Starting at one end of the spectrum and ending at the other…
Funny, they always end up in the shape of a heart.

Love is invisible yet always present inside you…
Doesn’t need all the technological goodies…
All you must do is stoke its fire…
Come on, I’ll show you how.

I love you,

Annie
