A journey seeking love

I was in a journey,
Journey seeking love, its origin.
The love I saw around me,
In the mist that covered the dawns,
In the morning song of the cuckoo,
In the silver lined clouds of noon sky,
In the ocean waves swallowing the setting sun,
In the blinking of stars at the night sky,
I saw love everywhere.
It was a journey to seek that love.

I asked the dew drops, where's your love?
She answered smiling:
You saw only love in me.
No one sees me shivering in that cold.

I asked the cuckoo, where's your love?
She said with a smile:
You saw love in my song,
Did you notice a lament of a mother in it?

I asked the clouds, where's your love?
He replied like thunderbolt:
You saw love in my enormity also?!!
Have anyone saw the sunlight making me suffer?

Ocean also heard my question, where's your love?
Their answer came towards me like waves.
You even saw love in my perilous heaves!
No one realizes I'm a kind of ugly waste basket.

I asked the stars, where's your love?
They answered, blinking their eyes
We blink and you say it's love.
Who knows we're trying to close our eyes from this earth of madness?

The journey ended there, journey seeking love.
I didn't find the love, neither its origin.
The love I saw was just an illusion...
Love was dead, and buried.

This is a brilliant & imaginative way to write about love. I can't tell you how bored I get when all the love poems sound similar. I'm overjoyed to find a fresh new message about love. I believe that we need to keep our eyes on all the things we could love about life & stop moaning about the lack of love in a romantic relationship, as some often do. This is entertaining with the interactive questioning of each of God's phenomena, personifying each entity with a bit of sassy attitude, when answering. Very convincing way to shake us out of our doldrums & show us how much our lives are full if only we look around with open hearts! (((HUGS))) fondly, Margie

This hits hard and is so potent...we take for granted such things yet there is love to find if we see the light inside ourselves first...enjoyed this xo

Sometimes, we are not ready to bear the consequences of putting a pair of rose-colored glasses. Love begets love though it takes patience and time.... And when you love, you also love the ugly side.
