Heavenletters

The Great Momentum of Love

This touched me so unspeakable much. Heavenletters has always come up with touching messages. It seems like it’s got an eye that sees deep, that searches deeper, through the way things happen. When I was reading the edition of May 5, 2009, seems like I was part of the editor’s team as I was searching for the meaning of love and writing some anecdotes on my experiences of what love is, at least to me. Below is a poem I finally came up with, some ideas extracted from Heavenletters of May 5, 2009. Thank you so much, those blessed ones at Heavenletters. You are so much inspired to inspire. Keep the good work.

The Great Quantum of Love
Love is like a plant
When planted properly it germinates.
The more seeds sown the more plants grow
When given the proper soil,
Love always grows back
But it must be fussed over; cared for,
Like a real plant it is.
It must be fertilised by being experienced.
It needs much time and watering
For it to grow into a tree
That may never be uprooted, ever!

Love is like the breath of Heaven.
It blows round and round and round.
When it goes forth it always comes back.
It is always present everywhere everytime
But we tend to be absent from its presence
One may take a deep breath of it
And the other may take small gasps
And love becomes who we are
It spells how much we will give away

Love is like flowing water, ever flowing
When immersed in it, it soaks
Though it may be wrung out of us
And leave us scorched brown like grass.
We can always be soaked again and again
And be saturated through and through,
For we are ever immerse in it like fish.
When we seem not to be, it’s the season.
Love is everything to everyone
And is everywhere everytime
For love is who we are.
