Notes About The Poem

For The Octaves of Love Poetry Contest of Unseeking Seeker/ 5/16/26

Octaves of Love

Line of Inquiry:
“joy, empathy, compassion
on an upward arc
an effervescence eternal
causes bliss ignition to start” - Unseeking Seeker

Like notes an octave apart
so similar to the ear
are emotions that touch our heart
like songs so lovely to hear

With empathy and respect
and in tune with the Golden Rule,
we sweetly can interject
love that sparkles like light on a jewel.

With benevolence for all mankind,
great happiness we can ignite.
Octaves of love may we sing
in unison with great delight.

Is the Golden Rule a musical one, or referring to the form of the poem?

Beautiful! Indeed, octaves of love. Or very near intervals -- love can sing, sound, soar clearly despite a grounding storm. Love is where the heart is most comfortable. Love it!
