The Foundation Of Life Poem by Nazmul Haque

The Foundation Of Life



Love is the rock,
on which we can build
the temple of life,
the temple of God.

Everything else is just sand-
except love.
to make a house on anything else
is just a waste of time and energy;

The foundation of a house
remains hidden underground,
It remains out of sight,
but it gives the house stability,
so does love-
Love is an underground energy,
It is very silent,
it is hidden at the root of life,
It shows life the way
but it is itself invisible.

All that is significant, is invisible
Love is invisible, God is invisible,
life itself is invisible.
What we see is only the body
in which life lives,
but never see life itself.
What we see is only the garment
but never the spirit.

Love is also like a light
that shows but is not seen.
It lights up life,
life cannot stand up without love,
The whole of life
has to be built on it, around it, for it.
