Light of Love

Light of love as others may say
Would blaze the best in you throught out the way
No winds, no seas, no roaring from the dim
'Cos it would shine for you as a beam.
 
For all my life I have come to hide
For the perfect love others seek to find
That's why I thought myself to be brave and might
To prove that "I don't need that kind of light."
 
With all those years of life's demise
I made myself pure and wise
As I conquer in the life of fight
I would rather say, "I don't need that kind of light."
 
It might be fear, it might be scruple
But it popped up easily like a bubble
Maybe it was huge, maybe it was heavy
But with you, I conquered it very lightly.
 
You taught me how to be
Courageous enough to be me
Not to run away from reality
And embrace the light of love tenderly.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
