WITH ALL THAT IS

Love, oh how it permeates
every unexpected place,
every unsuspecting Soul.
It knows where to go, and
when to enfold, when to
unfold...like a flower
touched by both sun and
rain.

Love radiates amidst
darkness and Light,
still, and quiet,
gently abiding with all
that is. Nothing is missed.
No one is missed. All of
existence taken in.

Love bears witness to
every need, every deed,
whispered or completed
in silence,
or in solitude of prayer.
There is nowhere Love
will not go; no place,
no space, too grave or
depleted for Love to
enter and center Itself.

Lovely.

I like the last stanza:



But when I read it
I couldn't help but ponder
will love decsend to hell?
and remain to reside in the hearts of those who dwell there?

(just sharing thoughts that came to me when I read this)

Thanks for reading and for the flower K.....

There is nothing as rewarding as Love!!

Yes, Abra, Love did descend into "hell" that day and it is, in part, because of witnessing this that I saw there is NO place Love will not go. I asked myself, in essence, the very question you are now asking, in that write...

"In this tiny room I felt
Spirit. I needed to look;
who or what was present
in this very small place?
Could Love and Hate both
occupy this space?
I turned and looked
over my shoulder,
towards the upper corner
of the concrete walls.
Nothing was there; yet,
I sensed a Presence...
It was peace, and then
compassion."


It is at the very center of "hell" that Love would most seek to go in order to touch and TRANSFORM all experience, all suffering unto Itself again.

All is, eventually, enfolded back into Love, into the Sacred (the Source or Origin of all Creation).

....inside of, by way of Transformation then, "hell" no longer exists....Love will abandon no experience, no person....all came from Love and will return to Love....

Love will not abandon Itself. Love cannot separate Itself from Itself.

This is the only impossibility for Love.


Ty for your thoughts Abra

Yes, K It is so.

Lovely just lovely...

Hi (((((P)))))

Ty for stopping in, for your input, indeed for your abiding Presence.

you always leave me speechless

bastet, ty, woman of such gentle peace

"Love,.... permeates ....radiates....bears witness..."

You describe so aptly an energy greater than any dark force that resists it - and all we have to "do" is be open to it.

Gently marvellous!

Yes, ty (((MG))) ...you put that so simply, so beautifully, so clearly....

"and all we have to "do" is be open to it."

Good poem ... the last line captures what I think is real love. It goes where it goes because it acts from its own nature, independent of the transient characteristics of place or person, seeking neither invitation nor reciprocity. Perhaps love sees what we are often incapable of seeing?

Wow CitiGurl!

Your thoughts are truly striking. Ty for sharing them with me, with us
