Truth And Love Poem by Etienne Charilaou

What could be greater than Love?
Who dares frame the question above!

There are many loves:
romantic, chivalric, agapic, platonic.
You can even love a toothpick!

The Supreme Truth is greater than Love
but only in that it is the Truth above all
truths; for in its essence or at its heart
it is still Love but Love Supreme
which is above all loves.

All these words however pale
beside the experience of it.
As all experiences transform us,
change us, make us grow;
so too the ultimate experience.

Whereas life before the Great Experience
is flat, unleavened; the opposite is true
after the Experience, for life then becomes heavened.
