Half-life of Doubt
Sometimes I wonder if love ever wins;
inquiries with half-lives of mere seconds.
Then it occurs to me; it already has.
Otherwise, I could not ask those questions.

Half-life of Doubt
This could be the title to my memoir.
I absolutely love this. Like Catsis I read a few times and each time I got something new from it. I love poetry where there is introspection and looking into your soul.
I adore the answer. I usually don't realise that answer to some of life's questions are staring me in the face until they punch me in the head.
Brilliant, its so short but says a thousand things in four lines.
Kindest regards
Jayne

Thank you both
You know. I just went and read it again. It definitely hits different every time.
I really appreciate you both stopping by to check it out. If you’re thinking about love, it already won.

Half life of Doubt Love
What is the half life of a doubt? Such deep content breeds contentedness. When Love wins as it has for me. The more I look the more I see. Love definitely wins for me.
A poem full of hidden pleasure. Brief as it is deep as a treasure.
