What is Love?

Love enchants the darkest corner

Protected by the mind’s armor

Even the ego will smile

Love brings radiance to that isle

It isn’t true love when contained

The heart cannot be chained

The mind is full of ropes

They beckon us with hopes

Love waits, it is patient

Knowing there is no replacement

The ego may turn to objects

Limiting love’s prospects

Love is like life-giving air

Which we so readily share

When the mind falls in line

The body will become love’s shrine
