Love

Looking for love in many places, in many faces? What are your chances? Love opens you up and lifts your spirit up. It brings you joy and happiness. It stings you with regrets or sadness. Love, a many splendored thing, seen and felt in many things: Love between two people, as friends, lovers or couples; between parents and children; between siblings or brethens. Or love of power and money Or love of fame and vanity. These are all temporary and would not be there permanently. For there would be a time for them to go and it hurts to let them go. Look no more. Search no more. For love is you, giving you. Love is asking, asking you how far can you go and how deep can you grow. Love is an incredible feeling, finding yourself giving and sharing. Giving your all unselfishly. Showing yourself truly and unself-consciously. Love makes you reminisce all of the good memories of shared moments of happiness and of times of togetherness. Love lets go of regrets and considers them as steps to find and discover yourself and to change and grow oneself. Remember love is you. The giving, growing you. Stop looking for love. For you are love. Submitted: 2/9/21 All Yours (Feb 10) Poetry Brian Strand
