The Greatest Emotion

The greatest emotion shared
is that of Love, immeasurable

The child would say, “a whole bunch!”
The spouse would say, “till the end of time!”

God would say, “no matter what….”


(I come to you
with hands open, extended

palms upward
that we may freely
take and receive
of one another

bearing gifts
for the heart is
both lover and teacher

we awaken a new dawn
while moon and stars
are yet a horizon reflection

let not light obliterate entirely 
fond mystery between us,
Freedom something only
evil need fear

I come to you
having always taken 
the first steps,
those of grace 
and wonder eternal)

Thank you, Eve; we walk with god when even at blessed rest. God never deserts us, Even when paths go astray. When a toe is stubbed, the hairs on His head feel the sting.

Very true as you've suggested in these expressions, 'love' is the greatest emotion that binds us all! Only if, we all agree to keep the materialistic thinking aside and decide to embrace positivity wholeheartedly, rising above our differences, this world would be a magical place to live in. Spreading kindness with empathy and receiving the same, ah, that's all one's heart wants.. Beautifully crafted poem this is, enjoyed reading it! :)

Well said, Hiya; rising above our sane differences -- while individuals we are one within the eternal body of God...He/she (whatever) does not single us out when it comes to love.
