Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

We Are Love

Be wise,
But not a Smarty Pants -- 
Let love not be pretentious
But simply flow naturally -- 
The first is superficial
While the second is Becoming.
Do not fear the heart’s natural
Rhythms, it will race when
Necessary, slow when rest or
Thoughtful pause is needed...
And love~ for it is Our Source -- 
In short, know that the life we
Are given, was just that, not
Earned but a Divine Gift.  Love
And know one’s ever-present
Benefactor.  Always is Love. 
All else just passing illusion.

I Am Anaya April 26, 2026 at 12:18 PM "Did you know that true love asks for nothing? Her acceptance is the way we pay Did you know that life has given love a guarantee? To last through forever & another day Just as time knew to move on since the beginning & the seasons know exactly when to change Just as kindness knows no shame Know through all your joy & pain That I'll be loving you always"— Stevie Wonder Congratulations on POTW, Joe!
