The Search For Love
A journey of you and me…towards Us
Some express love is a river
With the droplets flowing in innumerable sensations
It drowns the reed within
Only to create the flute that breaths the whispered secrets
Others say love is a storm
With the clouds gathering the myriad emotions
It uproots deep from the core
Only to shine in the thunder of passion
For a few love is a fragrance
With the petals unfolding in innocence
It struggles with the seed
Only to answer the existence as it blooms
Some take love as the sky
With twinkling stars filling the expanse
It holds the darkness close
Only to scatter bliss, embracing the incandescent canvas
Some see love sharp like a knife
With the wound leaving us raw
It tears the heart open
Only to carve a path for the beloved to be welcomed
Some think love as endless hunger
With the mind full of desires
It bares the web of thoughts
Only to want more in this ultimate joy of union
Some feel love as the eternal guiding light
With the flame burning the self
It dispels the void of reasons
Only to be pilgrims on this path of reverence
Some call love the path to awareness
With the dance in silence
It is a disappearance in communion
Only to permeate in nothingness as nameless beings
Some ask what is Love?
With the questions restraining the being
It is a search of the self
Only to be the doorway of freedom in togetherness
For me love is all of life
But mostly just L.O.V.E
A bit of you, a bit of me
Becoming the key to us
