Can Perfect Love Engender Fear?

I searched for


              Something
              Tangible
              That could
              Symbolize
The love I felt for the world
And all its kindhearted people
But all I found was a book written
              By men
              Claiming
              To have a
              Message
              I was truly
              Seeking
              Without 
              Ability to
              Explain
              Why some
              Questions
              Are truer
              When left
              Unanswered

I like it. If we lived in a perfect world, we would not need to even ask the questions. But reality is that everyone of us has trouble finding the message and some never bother to ask. We just have to keep trying, praying, and feeling. (You inspire me.) Great shape poem....and as always, thought provoking.

I think you found the message, Yoni, and conveyed it very well. Love the last thought about questions being truer when left unanswered. CD

Yoni, This is an enchanting poem -both in shape and contents. You are in pursuit of truth and reality. Many a thinkers and philosophers have been searching from time immemorial. The horizon of thoughts is boundless. One has to keep exploring. Thanks for your educated comments on my poem 'May We Smile' . God Bless You. -Mohammad

I see your point. I am spiritual, not religious, because I knew your words well. I think in life we cannot have the whole truth...but we can have part of the truth....so that is why we much search, for the parts to the whole. Best wishes, Sara
