What Is Love?

                   Is it the cinders of hope?

                            Is it the life which wheezes unfailingly?
                         
                      Is it the enduring ,crimson tears?

                      Is it the blue streamlet which sings
                      like  the starry sea?
                                   
                       Is it the bloodstained rivulet which
                     whistles unflaggingly?
                                                                                                                                                                                                      
                      Is it a grey happiness?
                                                                
                       Is it an unfettered joy of a moonless
                             eternity?

                      Is it the reddish star which streams a
                             green ink?

                     Is it the death which flutters its wings?

                      Is it the withered lily which shines
                            like the turbulent brook?                             
                            
                       Is it the flaming hope of otherness?
\
                   I believe the most important thing
                        in our life is to love God
                            profoundly, our fellow man
                              unselfishly   ,and Gods'
                                 creatures unflaggingly.
