Gentle Love
"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?" By Rumi
love blended with light
soothing, inspiring, smiling
blessing my life, feels so right
beauty inspired, beguiling
love kissing my thoughts, my dreams
with the embrace of peace
the feeling, so beautiful, goes to extremes
a wonderful the heart won’t release
love silencing my every fear
shining hope into the shadows
erasing all sadness, every tear
with a kindness as amazing as the rose
love colors my heart in hues of hope
shines faith through the sorrows, the dread
frees my thoughts so I can cope
with the doubt, the intolerance that’s spread
love follows me with the heavy perfume
dreams stirred, burning through grief
relieving souls from the fears they assume
fall across the spirit of darkness, a relief
love knows the wonder of a touch
embracing the music of a hush
breathing in joy, burning so much
hearts blaze with the heat of elation’s rush
love silences all the worst that occurs
restoring beauty and peace to the soul
wisdom to those who joy prefers
promising hearts will be made whole
love, gentling each feeling
preparing for forever
with the miracle that is revealing
grace that is alive for whosoever!
Simply believe in the love.
