Love Manifest

What is love?
It is the seeing
of everything
simply as it is
without needing
to embellish it
or make it over
or change it in any way

What is love?
It is the being
with everything
simply as it is
without needing
to make it better
or make it look good
or tone it down in any way

Love manifest
is the human heart
beating strongly
quivering lightly
sustaining everything
by its fragile being

Love manifest
is the human heart
ready to live
ready to die
ready to plunge headlong
into what it knows not
for no other reason
than that is what it is
Love manifest
