The shadow of love



Shadow not over the words of love,
Love is a language known only to the heart.
Hear it in the wind and the birds above,
Paint it on a canvas skin and call it art.

Eternal beauty walks among us all,
Seekers of knowledge may know its name
But true wisdom lies in hearing its call,
As the oceans causes the moon to wane

Its gentle touch, abundantly crystalline Euphoric in nature, its secret is kept.
With its healing powers, all part divine, Though many an angel from love has wept.

The One I thank for this happiness so wide
 He is our God who dwells inside.
He gave you me and he gave me you,
And I am so thankful that He is so true.

Compassion and caring, make love's trinity,
And kindness a guide that leads to bliss.
 So make love your one and true reality,
For you are worth much more than this.

There will be times when we will disagree,
 But as we grow and explore,
we will see As long as together we bind our hearts,
Then we can be assured we will never ever part.
 ---Priyanjali Jain

About this poem

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit. Love can be found in any format be it in form of a person, a thing or actions or words of affirmation. And the best thing to hold onto in life is to be able to give and take love as it's rightly said 'It's better to have loved and grief than never to have loved at all'.
