Love is
Everything and nothing
Poetry and prose
The music of the heart
The diction of the soul
A soft place to rest
A hard place to reach
Light that guides our actions
Darkness with no relief
The Questions left unanswered
The Answers to all we ask
A bottomless well to drink from
A nearly empty flask
Strong enough to stand
Weak enough to fall
Love is…
The stillest calm
and fiercest storm
The darkest night
and the brightest morn.
It is as we travel
In search of our purpose
Journey, destination
Anchor Compass
A stormy unrest of soul
A calm peace of mind
Cruel when ruled by fear
Caring when it’s kind
A gift when given freely
An obligation by demand
A dream of hope when thriving
A nightmare in its end
A banquet feast fit for a king
A meager bowl soup
A Church of many believers
A house of ill repute
Love Gives
and takes
It makes whole
it breaks
Knows all,
is all,
begins and
ends all
