Universal Language: Love

I need to be strong I have to hold on as I move on
Leave behind the mess of misguided thoughts that love and pain are somehow the same
Or that love just means tears and more agony
Love conquers all one way or another 
Put down your armor 
Have a little faith and you will see the truth

Love is beautiful and free, it is not pain but the opposite
Suffering comes from our attachments, our unrealistic notions that we can make things concrete that are fluid and fleeting
We blame love for all wrongdoings, betrayals, heartbreaks
Too proud or stubborn to look at ourselves or others, we claim love makes us blind fools
Yes and no
I think we often see what we want to see 
We ignore what doesn’t fit the picture we prefer
Love can makes us scared and brave, strong and weak
Caught up in dreams more than reality 
We expect love to work miracles make the impossible possible
Sometimes it does more often it doesn’t
Perhaps we choose the wildish naiveté on an unconscious level 
We know people don’t change just because we wish they would
Not matter how deeply you care and love them
While people need love and support they also need to want the change

We use love to escape reality which adds to the thrill but has the potential for danger
Like all things love can be manipulated and abused 
But when it’s pure and true it’s heavenly
Love is naturally good and when it’s not it is people that are to blame
If we could just open our eyes we’d see it’s everywhere in many simple acts 
It is a basic human trait to care, to lend a hand, to love 
While times change this does not

Sometimes we fear love like we fear death both can mean letting people go
Without love there is no joy, no beauty, no laughter, no life
Centuries we have searched to find meaning in our existence 
When perhaps it has been to truly love without reservation
Perhaps we are all soul mates on this journey and what we are meant to learn is to listen to our universal language: love
And when we all speak this language our dreams will become the new reality

Wow, you nailed it on the head. Your explanation of love is so vivid and professionally constructed. I'll recommend this to someone(you know your self). We should all speak the language of love. Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece.
