"Some Call It Love"
By Jim Driscoll

It's like snow softly caressing your body.
It's more magical than your first kiss...
It's longer than a heartbeat,
yet shorter than a lifetime.

It can consume us, yet for other's
it's an endless whisper that goes unheard.
It is sometimes slow, other times
it is fast and furious.
It is laughter or it appears in a cry.

Do you know what I am?

It can abandon us or pick us up,
when we are down.
It has touched so many hearts
and filled them with joy.
Yet many too, only know pain
and tears of sorrow.

It is Love...

And, I am waiting for it to return.
I hope the wait will not be long.
