Poetry
I tried to run after love
To hold it in my hands
Keep it for myself only
But could only grasp it
By sharing my heart with others.
I tried to store love
In a tight box of life
Use it for myself only
But it would not remain in
Until I let the heart of others inside.
I tried to hug love
In a tight embrace
Keep it in my arms only
But it would only settle in
When my hands included the arms of others.
I tried to measure love
With the counting tape of fate
But the tape itself was not enough
To hold the greatest emotion of all
A lifetime too would be short for it.
I tried to fill love
Into evey tiny dot in my heart
But it would disappear
Until I filled it with the names
Of those who were meant to live within.
I tried to offer love
To the ones residing in my soul
But it still remained incomplete
Until I allowed God to take over
And unfold the true understanding
Of what Love actually is!
