"Love one another as I have loved you" - John 15:12

Today, I sing a love song
It is a love song of a dove
Flying over me and a friend
as I walked along the path of life.

The dove spread its wings
pure whiteness in splendor and beauty
hovering over us, spreading peace
assuring freedom and new hope.

The dove looks with eyes of love
his heart waiting and longing
his feet steady in the air
his head upward and proud.

Then I heard the echo
of the dove's love song
"here am I, my beloved
ready to die for you"!

Martyrdom is love's highest goal
there is a lot to it
than simply letting go
it is just being pure nothingness!

The dove's long song
is also mine and maybe yours
if only I can see through
the chambers of my brokenness.

Love is alive and well
in the depths of my being
nothing and no one can stop
that wellsprings of eternal love!

"omnia vincit amor" - love conquers all

Love conquers all,
yes, i believe that
but first of all
in my experience,
I need to be conquered
by love in all its intensity,
its paradoxes and contradictions.
Also, I just felt lately
that to know love
for what it is
I need to allow love
to break through me,
break my heart,
break my illusions,
break my control of life.
Then, in the soft rhythmns
of the present moment
like listening to the sound
of birds even in winter
loves speaks its language
in or out of season.
Yes, only in that nothingness,
only in that darkness
only in that brokenness
I came to understand
the victory of love
in my own moments
of falling to the ground
like seeds deeply sleeping
in the cold winter
only to sprout full of life
and beauty in spring!
Today, I am ready
to love again in the now
and I'm at peace
and secure that love will win!
