Whatever life conjures and throws at us
We’ll take it and face it together
With the power of love that still grows in us
We’ll stand strong and make it forever
If it means more adventure, let’s add to the spice
We’ll will it and wing it together
If it means taking chances, let’s throw down the dice
We’ll busk it and bet on each other
Whatever the year holds in store for us
We’ll meet it and greet it together
With the power of waves on the shore for us
We’ll swim strong and surf them forever
If it means stopping to rest, let’s take a deep breath
We’ll pause it and play it together
If it means battling our fear, let’s just do our best
We’ll live it with love for each other.

Icarus: Favourite Love Poems
This creative collection, now in its 2nd edition, brings together love poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology traces love’s agony (“Broken Dreams”) and ecstasy (“Galaxies Cart-Wheeling”), from first blush (“Almost Strangers”) to full bloom (“Say ‘I Do!’”), as we fly to love. You’ve given me the gift of golden wings / The endless sphere of blue imaginings / The chance to rise above the silver clouds / The will to cast off untold ghostly shrouds / Don’t fly too high / Don’t rise too fast / Don’t tease the sky / Don’t taunt the past / You’ve given me the hope of warmer days / The blessed kiss of the sun’s fiery rays.
