Does life need love?

Does life need love?

Does life loose it's luster
if love is absence
or is love in the eye of the beholder?
a vision of what love is
love of everything
or the love of nothing

Does life flourish in the light of love
or is the sun suffice?
Is the need for love similar to the
need of the ultra violet burn
to create a bronze tan beauty
or a rose?

Does life shrivel like a prune
if love's not there to keep life fresh?
forever blooming

Does life need love as a necessity
such that with the absence of love
one cannot be whole?
The Holy Man can?

Does life's questions get answered
the same by individually separated opinions
to pick out the ripest and the wisest?
Perhaps, but ...

... Does life need love?
