LOVE JUST IS

The word "is" ... What does it mean?
"Is" just "is" ...to others a verb link!
"Is" just a simple passive word
That links the subject to the verb!

"Is," however, stands alone
"Is" just "is" but never disowned!
It is what it is
Whether a smile or embrace
An act of mercy or precious grace
A laugh or a wink
Without a blink!
A kind word...a patient act
The truth and all its detailed facts
Humility and meekness
Never a weakness!
Loyal and faithful....through and through
In act or deed - in all we do
Always expects the very best
Overcomes all obstacles in our life's test
Victors and conquers all things on its quest 

"Is" ... though a linking verb
Don't be baffled or perturbed
"Is just is" when it links to love
Because in all of heaven - stretched out high and above,
Stands in its purest, finest and richest form,
Without a blemish, defect or any deform
So holy, so genuine, so rich in purity
Like that of a saint's undefiled dignity

When the subject is about genuine love
It is what it is...and it's not what it's not
It is straight and direct...not tied to a knot!

Love is the very essence of love itself
Love's reduction is of self
To lift or raise others
Without linking itself to one or another
Though its beautiful harvest of mercy, kindness, and grace
Are but mere fragments, love yields to better complete one's race

Love is...it just is
It's NOT "this" much or "this little"
It's not to be measured in quantities to be magnified or belittled
Love is....It just is

Love cannot be detailed in words and no deed is suffice
To accurately and adequately have words to describe
For there is no word that will ever exist
No feeling or emotion that can ever resist
The strongest and most kinetic power
Of love's first and infinite Spring Shower!

Love just is...it just is
Because all words come short and fall
To adequately and accurately detail
What love  is ... other than indescribable and unsearchable!

Love is not a noun,
Regardless of its position or how it's announced!
Love is a verb

Love is...it just is...
As God is...and just IS....
No links...no connections...just stands alone

Long Live love....may Love remain
Selfless, independent, and self-maintained
Controlled, managed, and self-retained
Until the established hour
It awakens to kindle its magnificent power....
