Love is a blessing,
Love is a miracle,
Love heals,
Love resurrects,
Oh, what a grace!
To humans,
Love is magic.
Yeah!
Love drives
Love invigorates
Love sustains
Oh, love protects
Love guides
Love, love, love
A magic current,
A palpable feeling,
Almost tangible,
An invisible glory,
Conspicuously hidden
An inaudible melody
Sweet to the soul,
Nearly testable,
The lingua can attest
Love
It fills the air
We know its odourless scent
It warms the mind
And gladden the heart
Calms the nerves
Even the skin knows about it.
A universal language,
For the unborn, young and dotard
An unlimited force,
Knowing no boundaries
Across human races,
Brown, black, white or yellow,
All perceive this precious grace
The beasts and fowls comprehend it
The birds of the air can reciprocate
What an unfathomable currency
For the fauna and flora of the world
That each can transact with!
Love!
Glorified and honoured,
Sung and spoken,
What an invention
What a design and creation
In the likeness of the Creator,
To be created,
Only Love could create love.
Love, love, love.
As eyes greet each fresh dawn, man’s answers seem crude bluff -
a sunrise deemed blessing (or safety conceived as Love’s heart!)
Once bright stars exploding formed ashes to paint us
on fabric of space-time (still married to stars’ paths through space).
Stuff burned by Red Giant’s a Sculptor’s best clay source?
Recycled detritus of fusion’s failed spark forms a soul?
As hydrogen fuses to helium (meets goal),
then fuses to carbon, to oxygen, … till iron’s recourse
means flame out; collapse of star’s mass can squish core’s face
and spark Supernova, with neutron star / black hole a plus!
Religions (most claim to) divine All That’s True’s start!
But Physics scopes testable models that work; that’s enough!

Oh Tongue,
What a wonderful organ you are?
You are a two side of a coin;
With you i speak,
Without you am a dumb being,
With you i taste the testable, share
feelings and emotions.
With you i sin, lied, conspire, deceives
and confess,
You bring fortune, good-luck and
happiness to man,
And with you sorrow, sadness and
misfortune is brought upon man.
With you life can be taken and can be
saved,
With you they can be war and with
you peace can be restored.
With you sweet home can be wrecked
and wrecked home can be build.
Oh Tongue,
Why did you bring misery, chaos,
to man”s life and to this world.
