As Valentine's Day approaches, I have come across this quote from one of my favorite authors. Known more for his realistic and gritty depictions of the human condition and spirit, Hemingway was also quite the philosopher when it came to love. Many of his private writings and letters reflect a softer and more contemplative side, as evidenced by this quote taken from a personal letter. It touches my heart every time I read it over, and I hope it does the same for you.
To someone who has touched my heart: Happy Valentine's Day!
Love to all,
BJ
"I guess the true extent of one's problems is measured by the capacity of your heart to love anything when your head knows there is no good end to it."
Ernest Hemingway

Leaving by BJ Neblett
Leaving
When a star falls where
does it go?
Does it run and hide
from the other stars
Ashamed of its own
mortality?
Is there a place
A town
A city
where fallen stars go?
Where they cry their
troubles to others like them
Talk about their
problems
Find support groups for fallen stars
Is there a doorway from
the sky?
You say you are leaving
Fallen from my sky
Out of my world
My universe
My life
Where will you go my
love?
Have you found a
doorway out of my heart?
