Love Comes When Love Comes




In a world so big and a life so short,

                                                     Love comes.
Sometimes with careful calculations.
Sometimes with a sudden stroke of God's hand.
It fills you with Holy Presence and
it lifts you to a place filled with clouds and clarity.
Butterflies and symphonies bubble up
                        until you think you can hold no more.
Reason and focus seem to float away
             only to return to guide you unto
a Being .......that soon blends in one accord.
When all else fails,    love fills my heart.
                      God knows what God knows.
                                       Love comes when love comes.

One Holy love is more than we deserve...

           yet second chances come and fill the soul again.

How can you find space to hold her love

            in a heart so full and filled with past love.
How can she stand next to you,
            without standing in the shadows of love past.

Hearts are made to beat and fill,

              filling you with life and love,
never overflowing ....always growing..
⁰ò
Second chance love stands tall and casts her own shadows.

A shadow not to block the past love but to point to future love
and fulfill a promise.
A promise .... to keep on.
                                      To keep on going.
                                                       To keep on going on.
and to honor the Life Love with a life worth living,

God calls you to love,

             each moment precious and never promised.
Embrace love,
                     Embrace life
                                         Embrace loving.
                           because love comes
                                                             when love comes.
                                  and second chance love is a gift from God.
