Love
four alphabets that can spell
the destruction of a soul
or
the very redemption of humankind
found in nooks and crannies
in this twisted topsy turvey grain of sand
that circles the sun
builds civilizations to the peak of the stars
and brings them down crashing to dust
Love
traceable in a mother's voice
detectable in a father's grip
felt in a brother's care
secured in a sister's embrace
seen in a lover's eyes
exhaled wiith a soldier's last breath
and
forever enfolded in God's compassion.
Love
caressed by the need to kill in a murderer
handled by a thief to satisfy his greed
manipulated by mother in laws
husbands, wives, children and politicians
borne by the poor
trampled by the rich
Love
mighty and terrible
tender and sweet
seen in all
shapes and sizes
tiny and large
twisted and pure
Love
conquers all
and in it's wake
there be light and shadows
born of its warped and wondrous power.
Makes you feel all toasty then switches to cold then toasty again...... If love really is two-faced, then make sure you're looking at the right one.
Truly, professionally writen. Makes you think twice about the true meaning of L-O-V-E...... Splendid read.
