Love

You can view love in a number of ways. You can consider the human side of love and Devine Love. These are the thoughts I have had about both.

God Is Love
I thought about some words I heard, "God is Love" a wise man said. They startled me.
I had heard those words before, never so loud and clear.
I thought of all the meanings those three words explained. Infinite love, limitless in its entirety.
I never understood, a cloud of cotton in my brain, this time pierced as the words came through.
A fleeting feeling of awe, a sense of something beyond, no intellect can argue.
Only elation follows.

Young Love
I remember love when I was young, like a burning burst of flame,
An exploding firecracker within my chest, totally insane.
When I was young I relished all the turmoil of the moment. The rush of feelings overwhelming,
The blush of craziness in my head.
Now my love is sedate, surrounding me with warmth,
Like an old easy chair, snuggling down into its depths.
This seems better to me now, comfort soaks and lets me know, the love I feel will last and last
Till my bones lie in my grave.
Both loves are something I have had
Both are welcome in my soul
They fulfill my greatest wish, to be loved until the end.
