Poem

Love

To chant day and night 
It’s not a mantra.
Kept in the heart throughout life 
A great commitment...

To revenge or to hurt 
It’s not a battle of love. 
To offer with devotion 
A noble Holy Mass...

To fall victim to sensual pleasure 
It’s not a human sacrifice.
For a never-ending affection 
A great gift...

To give up this life
It’s not a narrow feeling. 
In a Samsara affection
A fulfillment of perfection

Alison A Smith nee Howarth Date: 8/25/2026 2:44:00 AM This contemplative free-verse poem approaches love as a spiritual and ethical commitment rather than a passing emotion. Its repeated contrasts—between devotion and ritual, love and harm, sacrifice and sensuality—give the poem a meditative, prayer-like cadence. References to Holy Mass and Samsara widen its vision, presenting love as a path toward compassion, endurance, and wholeness.
