Love heals...

A little bit of love
just a small gesture
of kindness
or a simple token
of thoughtfulness
means a lot
to heal a broken spirit
or a weary soul
in this life's twists
and turns...

At times
or most of times
we are in a hurry
and we don't want
to get disturbed
in our hurried pace
to go back
to our own isolation
when in truth
it only takes a second
to spread the lips
and smile
or it only takes
few minutes
to make coffee
for visiting strangers
with love in every gesture
it doesn't really take that long.

Much more with internet
can't we slow down
and in silence
even make a difference
in simply being present
to each other
listening and caring
the very soul and hearts
of our dear persons
in the vision and sacrament
we can only call the now!

I sing with all of my heart
love heals, love heals,
love heals the broken hearts
love heals the weary souls
love heals the world
love heals, love heals....

"Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, make new." - Ursula K. Le Guin

When I commit myself
to love and be loved
I surrender myself
to love and its own life
in the moments deeply blessed
by sharing and caring
by thoughtfulness and
and memories of the heart.

When I begin to truly love
I leave behind the doorsteps
of my selfish obsessive self
and just simply be there
for the other in total unity
feeling life's freeing joys
or embracing its sorrows.

When I love and forget
that I am loving indeed
without asking for returns
but just the sheer ecstacy
of loving for the sake of it
It is then that I am truly free
and fully human in loving.

When I have made
my errands of love
and came home to rest
I make one last wish
just before I fall asleep
in the peace and quiet
of a luminuous night
may I dream of love again
and wake up clutched by love!
