Thoughts of Love…beyond the flesh
Love is an ideal firstly,
the giving of a heart in surrender,
a statement of value beyond ourselves,
and an attraction that infers worship;
but love is so much more.
Love is pure selflessness,
where ego and intention find no place,
and devotion to another precedes all thought,
sacrifice a pleasured grace,
and to be together a blissful ease.
Yet love lives on past attraction, sex,
and in mellowing transcends mere afferent thoughts,
finding meaning in sharing life,
consideration and compassionate hands
the core of happiness.
And love in time is a warmth of knowing for certain,
you will never be alone,
will be cherished beyond the self for who you are,
regardless of faults, of pride and misjudgement,
always held in high esteem.
Love is the essence of life,
a connection with profound love
a connection with all of life, each living thing
a recognition of the beauty and meaning of existence,
as love is the spiritual union with oneself and all else.
Love is far beyond an ideal,
it is the link between our potential
and that which bestowed that potential upon us,
our link to the purpose and meaning of being,
in an elegant and empowering state of epiphany.
