Love's No Fool

I like to step outside myself and see
the bigger picture...

Is someone saying something to me
because they want me to
hear it... or because they need to be
heard?

The quiet of the mountains and only
sounds of birds singing

leads to thoughts so deep and far they
see way ahead.

Vision to look beyond all the
brokeness inside one's heart,

and sing new...and not feel like "the
day the music died."

To live somewhere noisy full of bells,
whistles, trains, and
trucks, and cars... is to overcome the
commotion...

and see beyond what you hear.

Or maybe to love beyond it all...

even if being in love makes you feel
like the greatest fool of all.
