LOVE

"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love."
Sophocles, Greek Poet 

Love is a sparkling flame that guides and leads
Lending a divine spark to all our deeds
It is a force that enlivens the world
A spirit that makes hearts joyous and glad

In our firmament, love is a bright star
Its laser beams erase all gloom and scar
It dispels darkness and cleanses the dirt
Kindling the soul and healing every hurt
It's like a forceful tide that calms the storm
To make life joyful, love is the sole norm. 
Love is the power that rules every heart 
Imparts all our endeavors a kick start

It's a burning lamp that shall ever shine
With love’s strong thread, let every heart entwine

Tonye George May 4, 2024 at 6:18 AM Love is so many things but steady. Loved how you portrayed love. We all want that real peaceful love but I feel people are too wounded to even try to give it. "It's a burning lamp that shall ever shine With love’s strong thread, let every heart entwine." On beautiful days, it is. Cheers V.
