Those Who Love

No mystery is Love
for those who love

once found dearly cherished

no jewel worth its loss

no perilous travel can deter
Love's cross

a mile away
can seem a universe
of distance

Love needing only, deeply caring,
sharing~ faithful participants --

Hi Joe. Yes, love will bot be destroyed. Love is The God Particle -- the elusive particle science seeks, from which all things came and will go back to -- Love is pure, unchangeable omnipotence. It can be lied about, mimicked, but children know the real deal, our beloved pets know, a faithful spouse knows...only politicians and bankers are entirely oblivious. Blessings my friend.

Thank you, Sally; you made my day -- so thrilled you pointed that out, about double meaning: "no perilous travel can deter Love's cross" -- we are both human and Divine. Of Divine substance and presence, of human Free Will. Blessings my friend.

A very deeply meaningful poem this is dear joe. You always touch subjects that needs to be highlighted and pondered upon. Such as love, and doing it the right way, youv depicted love here in the most seamless manner! I especially love your use of the word perilous. I was just thinking of using the word and see you do too! Love without faithfulness and caring is not love, sometimes we forget.. How creatively and soulfully delivered is this! Pleasure always reading your work. Sending you light.

Perilous goes hand in hand with Freedom...God had faith in our taking human chances -- life is not about success or failure...it is about faith and love. Light be with you. Blessings.

Love is a powerful emotion, not everyone knows how to control it or feel it or use it.. some even abuse it.. sad, when we should all practice love...

A sweet ode to love my friend. A heartfelt depiction, Joe, in touching words:--no jewel worth its loss--a mile away can seem a universe of distance--- a gem in realms of love!
