Love is the poetry of the senses

Love begins with a glace, grows with a touch, swells with whispers, intensifies with a kiss and deepens with a taste of the soul.

 A.Khurana

As the poet, John McLeod once said, "Poems are the friends we make them, expressing in words a thought of happiness, sadness, caring, experience dearly bought." 
Poetry is a form of communication and people use verses from poems in cards, in speeches, and as inspiration. Reading a poem can change your way of thinking or it can describe how you are feeling. 
Writing positive quotes on my blog is a kind of inspirational and creative therapy not only for myself, but for anyone who believes in something better to come:
 At any given moment you have the power to say, this is not how the story is going to end.

You Cannot Change 

by Brian Tracy 

You cannot change the world, 

But you can present the world with one improved person, 

Yourself. 

You can go to work on yourself to make yourself

Into the kind of person you admire and respect. 

You can become a role model and set a standard for others. 

You can control and discipline yourself to resist acting

Or speaking in a negative way

Toward anyone for any reason. 

You can insist upon always doing things the loving way, 

Rather than the hurtful way. 

By doing these things each day, 

You can continue on your journey

Toward becoming an exceptional human being.

I find the great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving,  we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it , but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

Thinking about love, poems, hope and strength, I would like to share an old masterpiece, a really awesome song  from Kansas, remembering my childhood in Vienna, "Dust in the wind", just to let everyone feel that life is what you make it, and many of our actions depend on the quality of our thoughts.

Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky...

Have patience with all things, but first with yourself. Never confuse your mistakes with your value as a human being. You’re perfectly valuable, creative, worthwhile person simply because you exist. And no amount of triumphs and tribulations can ever change that. Unconditional self-acceptance is the core of a peaceful mind.

St. Francis de Sales
