…and true love is
bereft
of the need
to receive back,
what
to even
begin with,
is at best
a one way flow,
bereft
of the need,
to balance
the scales,
to prove
to the world
that it is equally
weighed too,
bereft
of the need
to be acknowledged,
as something
higher,
than the slope
towards which
it naturally flows,
bereft
of the need
to defend itself,
against
all the colors
and reflections,
which tend
to mar its glow,
bereft
of the egoistical ‘I’
or the goal
of a directional ‘you’,
it knows
no hows and whys,
and its existence
seeks nothing more.

This is evocative of a childhood Biblical scripture, “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8”
Of course your offering is more beautifully poetic 😉 xoxo Love it.

Thank you so much, Bela! My offering is just a derivative of what you quote, and inspired by a drop of what I have read of so much that has been written before with the same essence. 🙂🙏
