"LOVE" [to seekers]
~free verse / shades of Gibran~
Love shall seek not....
but for its own satisfaction
and will not be easily swayed
from its course.
It will....
bend and twist you
and shine and dim upon you
while holding onto those within its grip.
Until....
they become pliant and giving
trusting and alive
with its genuine and crystal-clear vision.
It will know you....
even though
you do not know yourself
and until you do.
It cannot....
be captured
and will not be controlled
by anything other than love itself.
It shall not....
be fooled
nor can it be substituted
or replaced.
For....
Love is sufficient unto Love
and can be known only
to itself.
Nothing known can destroy genuine Love.
Love....
will warmly embrace you
but only upon finding you worthy
to its demanding task.
Until that occasion....
you will ever be seekers
of this lustrous gem we call –
"LOVE"
