Notes About The Poem

What Is Love

Love begins with joy,
sidestepping thought ploy,
sharing and caring,
with all souls pairing.

Love is not a trade,
nor assigns a grade;
it's a warm embrace,
akin to God's grace.

Bliss bubbles passion
is love's compassion,
holding each soul near;
all to our heart dear.

When true love's seeded,
no echo's needed,
for the flame burns on,
each breath a new dawn.

Like the pristine dew,
each love hue is new,
magic on display,
making earth life play.

Fires of love let's stoke
in heart to invoke,
bliss fragrance sublime,
to heavenward climb.

The most beautiful thing of all…love, does not assign a grade. I think that is profound. Love is the smallest and greatest of actions. Even a smile is love. Anyone can give one…an infant…the elderly. Congratulations on POTD, Unseeking Seeker!

Congratulations on POTD UnSeeker!!! A touch of what isn't love was expressed with a message clear. It helps us understand the meaning of love. Your Godlove sage teachings are undeluded and uncorrupted by temporal earthly matters. Much Luck in the contest! Namaste` ~Anaya

Congratulations on your POTD win. Your "What is love" is an amazing write. Love your line, "Love is not a trade, nor assigns a grade;" So very true. Many think love is to trade/grade. Have a great/blessed day......................

Thank you, Paula! Yes indeed, love is an unconditional, nonjudgmental outpouring like the radiance of the sun or the fragrance of a rose, self-existent
