How Fast is Love?
All massless particles travel at the speed of light
But what about Love?
How fast does he travel?
When will he get here?
Will he hear the wishes
she whispered to the wind,
leaving them,
like breadcrumbs on the path?
Will he feel her warmth
like a cold traveler
feels the heat from a stranger’s hearth?
Will he know her days are long
and her nights are short
because she’s raising changemakers?
Future Kings?
Will he see all the ways
she beautifies the ordinary
to build their kingdom?
She wonders
She waits
She deepens her roots into the soil
and grows new leaves.
She learns answers to questions
she never even thought to ask.
She adorns herself in crystals
and moves with the vibrations in the ether.
She cries when laughing,
and even through tears
sees more clearly than she’s ever seen before.
One night the moon asked her,
“What are you most afraid of?”
“Nothing…anymore,” she replied
Every fear, failure and loss became a lesson.
A chance to learn and find herself.
She became the exact person she needed in her life.
Zap!!! Just like that.
She hears footsteps.
“Hello, I’m Love. Nice to meet you.”
