A Positive Poem

My wish is to cultivate To expand the positive That is only possible By embracing Love So now I ask of myself To look deep within my soul Does Love reside in my heart? I search for Love's light Look at the light in my eyes The warmth from my finger tips I am a vessel of Love Filled beyond myself Positive that flows from me Is a gift I want to share The source comes from another For my God is Love For Elly's "A positive Poem" Contest.

"I am a vessel of love filled beyond myself." Such a stark image! Is this the love that comes from the Holy Spirit? Such Love that not one can contain it, but must be spilled out onto others by the overflow? I believe I am a bit envious of this kind of love.

You possess this capacity Timothy. You are a seeker and scripture states "Seek and Ye shall find" so I am not worried about you. Yes I am referring to the Holy Spirit.

Our love does indeed have origin and life from the Prime Creator Richard, well emphasized in this nutritious poem. A vital quest, one that stops not at discovery but continues with how is this love surviving and growing. The ratio of give and gain is always fascinating with Love. This poem sincerely addresses the two most important things in life, God and Love. J.A.B.
