The notion of Love has been discussed, debated, revered, and even abased through the centuries. Although romantic Love is the aim of those who want to elevate the actions and emotions triggered by hormones, there has to be more to Love than what most eyes can hold.
Often, true Love offers an awareness that brings pleasure and Joy and opens the door to a deeper connection with the Soul. As a result, Lovers experience a boundless energy and a greater sense of well-being. Love enables the Lover to overcome feelings of separation and creates a sense of union with the self and the world.
Greeks named the highest, noblest form of Love Agape as the kind of Love we have if we hold in our Hearts all our fellow men with boundless affection.
Here is a narrative in verse form that explores what true Love is:
A Journey To Love
by Joy Cagil
In the city, an expanse of rubble,
Hopes, smiles, sins, radicals and trouble,
From the Hea rt erupted one great Desire,
To find the Truth to Love, I yearned with fire.
On my way, a wide chasm opened en route,
Appeared an old man in a strange suit.
A treacherous aspiration, youll see,
While theres time, he said, forget this and flee.
Pleasure or peril underneath my feet,
Passionate Love maybe or Truth Id meet.
A dark drop opened up in trapped emotion,
A black hole horizon slapped to motion.
I must now lead you on; your will is fixed,
Heat of the moment with oasis mixed.
Pry into your muck, no baggage needed
to find your treasure, your Wish is heeded.
In countrysides unfenced, frontiers I met,
Wild-eyed pioneers in quicksand were set.
Others kept Searching with savage bird calls,
Inwards and downwards, where everyone falls.
Bride, groom, or goddess, as the case may be,
Not the holy ground, but just blasphemy.
Free will or judgment, scattered ambushed,
With finger pointing, casualties pushed.
What they think is Love is natures old sap,
To gasp and shiver never fills the gap.
If remorse or terror can show their face,
It is your funeral, not true Loves place.
The people youve seen are those who are stuck
At first stage of Love, they've run out of luck.
In a flash, we ran to another realm,
To boats on oceans with Children at helm.
Here birds are singing to the tune you seek;
A Childs Love is innocent, but still too weak.
So, we are getting closer, twist by twist,
Fine intent you own, just break through the mist.
Loves in stages, one after the other,
Your next step will be to Love your Brother.
Love from ones Passions is not Love at all,
Yet, one must go through them without a fall.
One ripple brilliant through the Fog shifted,
I watched friendships bloom when gloom had lifted.
Old Truths are dawning when friendships are real,
There's much more to true Love for you to deal.
His jocular tease deflected with ease,
Into a marvelous perfumed breeze.
His promised kingdom, I watched it amazed,
In view of miracles, I stood there dazed.
Lofty feelings on golden walls, astir
True Love and Brotherhood for him or her.
All races were crowned, with everyone winning,
Only way to exist, from the beginning.
Youve come a long way, far as it could be,
Whats more, you're in your own divinity.
Your next step is for truest Love of all
A tough job for mortals where angels fall.
But your limits here, further is forbidden,
Only Love holds the key to the holy hidden.
Who are you? I asked, An angel or friend,
To take such trouble for me to this end?
Who I am is who you believe me to be,
Look in your Mirror, your own Truth youll see.
A rapid swirl with flurries of light
Sent me to stare into my Mirror bright.
As dusk to dawn changed, so far from the norm,
The old mans visage bonded to my form.
His Image faded, though mine stayed with me,
From the deep, his voice said, Im you; you are me.
