Onion Skins



picture from go.funpic.hu

Layer by layer,
our onion skins
peel away
until,
in the center
of our hearts,
lies only
Love.

    Depends what kind of onion you're peeling, I would think.

    Gorgeous, Sherry. I'll never think of onions the same way ever again.
    And I love the photo. (How could anyone ever make a teddy bear that small?)

    Brief, true, beautiful!

    There is all that peeling--accompany by tears--that most of us have to deal with before love makes us smile for good.

    I love the structure of these lines... how they move towards a single word.

    ...and tears as well. One of the most beautiful things in life is to wake up next to the person you love.

    The layers can represent so many things can't they. It's always good when love is the center of things. The picture is the perfect addition
