Every Story is a Love Story

A5ER'SEvery story4 tale or memoir

Every saga or romance,hether true or -a*ricated

,hether 1lanned or ha11enstance,hether see1ing through the ages

Casting centuries aside<r a hurried *rie- recital =ust a thirty>minute ride

,hether ith a thousand 1layers<r a lonely cast o- one

Every story ne or ancientBagatelle4 or or6 o- art

All are tales o- human -ailingAll are tales o- love at heart

This is the story o- love that @ourished in a time o- hate<- lovers no tyranny could se1arate

Love set into motion on the 5ile shoreestiny ignited *y an act o- ar
