A Look at Love
Love cannot be constrained. It must be free to grow,
to lift a wing or dip a beak, its happiness to show,
to contemplate within itself the wonders of the world,
or concentrate on only one as its gentle wings unfurl.
Love cannot be understood if you would try and try.
Defying logic, it will come – or not – as time goes by.
Love can be unspoken, proclaimed in just a look,
or wildly danced upon the floor of passion’s private nook.
Love needs to feel the freedom to win or lose at will.
Love has to settle now and then, a needy heart to fill.
So look for love in sunlit skies or rainy mountain mist,
and hold not tightly to it when you feel it’s gentle kiss.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
