Love Is A Verb

     Who can explain love, it is the undefinable essence felt within the heart. You cannot see it, you cannot touch it, but it is the most powerful force there is, the purest form of it is poured out in giving.
     We give our hearts in love, in all of the little things we do each and every day that show the ones we love that we love them.
     Love is a verb and action speaks louder than words. As John Mayer aptly put it, love is a verb, it ain't a thing, it's not something you own, it's not something you scream. Love can be at its very best when it is commuicated in silence. Words need not be spoken to convey love. It's the little things we do that become monumental. A hug, a kiss, just holding someone, no words necessary.
     Alison Krauss sang it, you say it best when you say nothing at all. Its our actions that show what is in our hearts. Love is thinking of the person you love, knowing the things that they like and a want to give to them. Love cannot be forced or demanded, it has to be free. love freely given and freely received is the best love. Love takes joy in being with your loved one, love looks forward to the moments you will spend together.
     Love sees past every outward thing and into the heart. Love knows so innately that there is no explanation needed because love understands. As the words to a song says, Old Mr. Webster could never define what's being said between your heart and mine. When two hearts speak to one another love is being defined.  The action goes far beyond any spoken words.
     There is a verse in the Bible that says love bears all. Out of curioity I looked up the word bear, the meaning in the original Greek is to cover with silence. I was inspired to write this poem:

                                                        

Love Bears All

In silence love will find me
In the quietness
Of your arms
Love is what I see
No words needed
In moments like these
Two souls are joined
Love seeks to please
Love bears all
And quietly speaks
Our hands touch
Love is all we seek.
