Love Poem by Aeron Manabo

Do you listen to its melody?
Do you hear its sound?
Do you feel its spirit?
Do you understand?

It’s everywhere.
It’s in everyone.
You don’t need to look.
For it’s always by your side.

This four letter word,
is so simple yet compound.
It can shape humanity.
Yet, it can also destroy lives.

It’s in every song we chant.
It’s in every poem we compose.
It’s in every prose we write.
It’s what we always think of.

We can see it in a child’s eye.
We can see it in our mom and dad.
We can see it in a friend.
We can see it in God.

Are you one of us?
Do you feel it now?
For it’s what makes us all.
It’s what makes us unite.

What is life,
if it’s not made?
What’s our purpose,
if it’s not there?

Listen clearly,
if you can’t hear.
Contemplate,
for you to see.

Open your eyes,
And apprehend.
Let it enter your heart.
And believe in its power.

Love yourself.
Love everyone.
Love everything.
Love God.
