Poem: Across the bridge of Love

Across the bridge of Love

There is a bridge

A bridge of Love

On one side

Love is full of conditions

Expectations and mistrust

It’s common for lovers to fight over nothing

And sometimes tear each other apart

Jealousy and mistrust are part and parcel of everyday life

One moment life is good and the other moment is punctured by heartache

It’s painful to call this Love

But then on the other side of the bridge

There is unconditional Love

This kind of Love is sacred

It’s beyond knowledge

This Love opens your life

Until you become total awareness

You come to understand

That Love is selflessness

Love is unconditional

Love is purely an ocean of Love

With this Love everything else is nothingness

And nothingness is everything

You fall in love with Love itself

And Love becomes your path

You learn to be the Love

Until you become Love

You die to yourself

All your fears and needs are buried in this Love

Your sorrow and your tears are melted

And erased

Your joy is an everlasting fountain

This Love is so real

That it sounds unrealistic

It’s beyond logic

“4 Love is patient;

Love is kind;

Love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5 or rude.

It does not insist on its own way;

It is not irritable or resentful;

6 it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 Love never ends. ” (1 Corinthians 13: 4 – 8)

This is the kind of Love that flows forever

It’s a fountain of life

It’s the beginning and the end

This Love is God

And the bridge of Love is found in our hearts
