What is love? Is it the outstretched hand of grace, Helping those who are abandoned and in pain? Is love the magnetic pull between lovers, Enchanting both into a realm of splendor? Or is it the inner calm, That fills you while you witness God paint the sky magnificent colors? Is love the moments in which The dam of your heart bursts open Because life is so bittersweetly beautiful? Surely, I can't reckon which one is true, But love must be true Inherently Maybe it's a mixture of mind and heart That leads to the conclusion of love For true love Can neither be rash Nor too cold It must be balanced, And directed by the Soul.
