Don't Fall in Love, but Rise

(copywright 2007, Terry Rorie and Visionary Artistry)

I need to tell the wealth of my experience,

and bless you with a message of true love hence.

False illusion and confusion makes you so tense

because to fall, not rise, in love is senseless.

To some of you, this is quite a suprise,

but true love cannot be romanticized.

The mortal passion can make you feel nice,

but you don't fall in true love, you only rise.

My mentality used to be that sweet romance

was the only way to show that love could be enhanced.

I instinctively would think it through, and take a chance

to offer up a heart to love, but would never advance.

I'd create infatutions out of smiles and thoughts,

not revealing mortal feelings I so often fought.

Emotions burned when I learned what's already taught.

I kept falling into something, but was never caught.

Romanticism was a vision by which I was delighted.

I saw poetry in motion and I had to write it;

but the sentiments tht went along became unrequited.

In my songs, I long to show love and not hide it.

Then one day pondering, I looked up high,

in the mass of vastness in the skies.

I got a greater revealation. To be there you must fly,

like so, in love, we shouldn't fall, but rise.

All in all, what we fall in are different attractions

that we learn and try to turn into "satisfaction",

comprehended by our senses, our hearts are impacted.

Happiness is manifested, but what is still lacking...?

Beautiful and sensual are the traits of allure.

You feel a fire of desire, but I wonder if you're

praying for the good Lord to show you truth, then endure

the time it takes for Him to make HIS love within you pure.

God is love, from above, not down, not below.

stop calling it "falling". That's a reason we go

through our trials, all the while, all the highs and lows.

Realistically, logistically, love is what grows.

It plants seeds for your needs. It succeeds, not tries.

That is to say it's LIFE, no way it dies.

It's a force of unity that makes you strong and wise.

Love is not where you fall in... but where you rise!
