Love is easily understood by our hearts

We can think about love forever, without ever understanding love, because love is only easily understood by our hearts

I read all about love in books,

but I never felt love in me.

I thought about what love is,

but my thinking left me no clue.

Deep in my heart, something stirred.

Something was coming now to life.

It grew, and it grew, growing past my mind,

until I knew love was me, and me was love.

Love is more than a gift to myself.

Love is who I am within God.

I loved to love to be truly really me,

but I'd tripped over my mind trying to love.

This is so raw and honest. I love the truth in it. Simple and powerful. "I'd tripped over my mind trying to love...what a powerful realization for one to have. Well done!

Thanks. I think I picked a good heading/title too. I seem to be getting a lot of readers for this poem.

Thanks for appreciating my poem with such a great reply.

god love and sanity
words i hold in my heart
like drops in the clouds
never clear to me

Poetry, hopefully, links us to the unclear in our minds, with the clarity in our hearts.

I feel clear in my heart sometimes, from the words I hold in my heart.

to hold in the heart...concept/ belief I am exploring of late...coming to the conclusion...mind-heart like space-time...One

[albee]

to hold in heart...I believe is feeling in the moment a focused emotion...if we focus thoughts in a moment we can focus an emotion in a moment

[zennedpen]

The heart is holding, or holding onto, nothing, but lets go of love, allowing it out, but then if it goes through the mind, on its way out, the mind will alter the love, putting a slant onto it, discolouring its purity.

We need to just be in the moment of love, not in the moment of our minds, consciousness, or of anything else, because time allows for moments of love, but love has no time for moments of time, because it never stops itself, to step into time, to be anything, stretched by time, which can lessen its strengths, because time is merely a concept of our minds, not of our hearts.

[albee]

I believe
Heart-Mind is one
thoughts and emotions opposites within
Thoughts’ perceptions of fear, insecurity, etc.
can block the flow of
Heart-Mind Love


“Time allows moments of love
But love has no time for moments of time”

Thanks.

We are multi-faceted within an overall pool of oneness, and each part of us acts alone, as well as in unison, with each other part, and with the overall oneness.

The heart has a part to play, the mind too, as well as the body, and the consciousness too.

All can work together, but all work separately too, as each has to have an infinite part of itself in oneness, which uses more than one infinite part to be itself in too.

All is oneness, but the parts, even ourselves, function autonomously, but together, if we choose them to do so, at the same time. It is up to us how the parts of us operate, by how we choose to operate them.

These words
Love Heart Mind
Metaphors we live by
Ultimately undefinable

[zennedpen]

The infinite can never be defined, because it would need infinite words to define it, but the oneness can be felt, and it is defined as itself, by every part of that oneness, when it is so felt, so, if the mind feels this in itself, it defines the mind for itself, and so with the heart, and the body too.

[John the Baptist]

Perfect love casts out fear. Enlightenment occurs when we stop trying to love and allow ourselves to be love. Solid philosophy in this one.

[zennedpen]

Yes, perfect love exists within God, and will exist in us too, when we embrace God within ourselves, living from his love in us too.
