Only a Few Understand and Capture

There is a taste of pure affection
which only a few experience.

There is a sense of heartfelt gratitude
which only a few express to their benefactors.

There is a touch of magical bliss
which only a few understand and capture.

There is a song heard only by the faithful
which only a few hear in their dreamscape.

There is a foul scent that follows the very few
who follow the ideas of others, instead of their own heart,

There is a love surrounding all of us,
no matter what we touch, hear, smell, taste.
Most of us are grateful for this.

Eros, philautia, philia, storge, agape, as far as I remember. Thanks for this great poem which reminds me of the old useless lectures I had the pleasure of attending. The more useless a thing is, the more valuable it is for memories, isn't it?)
