Gravity of Love

"Try to think about it ...
What’s the chance to live your life and discover
What it is, whats the gravity of love"

The storm was coming near. Black clouds were threatening the crystal blue sea. The ship was slightly rocking from the waves. The lighthouse behind them was too far and now looked like a tiny star in mid-day. The next lighthouse was a thousand miles away from here, in a land no one knew.

She looked over to the foamy waves. Something was telling her the storm would be hard and long. This was not going to be her first, nor last storm she would endure. She closed her eyes and let the wind weave the smell of sea in her hair.
Her heart was telling her this time she had to trust it fully to endure the storm. She was going to follow the trail of past storms to get out of this one.

It was all a matter of deal between her, the ship, the waves and the clouds. She had seen how a storm, similar to this one, destroys ships of others like her. She knew the experience of survival was the key. The experience of survival and trust in the heart were the key to the gravity of love, and it would help her in enduring the storm.

Few were the people who trusted their heart to lead then through the storm and she was one of those few. She knew that always in the eye of the storm there is a lonely dove, who would lead you through.
She looked up to the darkened skies. They were close to the storm, close to it's eye. And then she saw it - a pale spot on the sky, the white dove was flying over the ship and showed the way.

- Let's go then, into the eye of the storm...

To the white dove in all my storms.
