Love

Love
Common love is an illusion,It wants us to possess that which gives us pleasure,It tells us to pursue the object of our desire,It does not see beyond itself.True love has no object, no goal:It is just love.The love where there is no "me"and "you" is the rest of humanity.Love that is not borne of selfTouches everything and yet nothing in particular.This all-encompassing loveFrees us from the confines of self.Once set free we can travel,Protected from the harshness of lifeCarried along on the wings of loveWe consume ourselves in its wondrous flame.
