The timeless connections

“Except for love, nothing you see will remain forever ~ Rumi”
Sunshine would have been less bright. Moonlight would have been less serene. Days would have been duller. Nights would have been lonelier.
Seasons wouldn’t have brought new colors. Winds wouldn’t have changed new directions. Flowers wouldn’t have diluted new fragrances. Trees wouldn’t bear new varieties of fruits.
Love stories wouldn’t have happy endings. Romance wouldn’t require sincere planning. Lifelong companionships wouldn’t become a norm. The whole universe wouldn’t represent everlasting love for all beings.
Trust and simplicity create bondages of love. Deception and fallacy destroy the circle of love. Life and death don’t matter in the cycle of love. Living and breathing for someone is the meaning of love.
