for the wise

Racing heart, hands shaking,weak in the knees. My Thoughts slamming intothe fortifications in my head,feeling faint and mesmerized.Is this love? At less that is what I thoughtin my youth.Someone once said,“Man has enough blood topower one head at a time”. As I grew older I realized thisto be true. Now I feel love not in the shapeor in the form that I see.I now feel love in the beautyof conversation. The agreeing and disagreeing,of a challenged or acceptinga point of view. I have fallen in love with many people,in the construction of conversation,or simply because of the repartee. Youth is for the young,Understanding of love                                                   
is for the Wise!
