Love Is.......

More powerful and destructive than lightening in a storm
Energy in a state of being and always changing form
Rails on which passing through emotions
Come and go like trains blowing horns
A force of goodness so great it heals us
When we are sick in mind and body worn
Kindness and courage to nurture our minds
Comfort our bodies and lift up weary souls
From the day that love is first born
To a tragic death from which we mourn
Such is like a passionate kiss
So powerful it rips our sails in winds of a gale torn
So gentle like a soft summer breeze on lips we adorn

What a powerful poem and your comment too Chris, very true.
For me a life without the blessing of love which as you describe comes in many forms ..isn’t living , more like existing. This poem struck many chords with me

Hi Yankee! It's a bit late but here's wishing you a lovely 2020. Seems like this was posted around the time I was new in the corner and obviously missed it. I remember how fast the poems rolled some days in the past; you blink and it was gone....yet it was a lovely time that time now I remember those days!

But to your 'Love is"......... I love how you described it and it is so true how powerful yet gentle love is! I'm glad a couple of our kind lady poets unearthed it somehow giving me the chance to peruse it :-) - Nu's Oriental K
