What Is Love

What is love I always wondered Is it pain of unfulfilled desire Or happiness of achieved Harmony and moment of bliss That you stole from your destiny Where from the love comes From the darkness of night Or morning light From the heart’s longing Of unspeakable tenderness Or it is an utmost sacrifice To protect those Whom you cherish the most Unanswered question in my mouth…. That I try to swallow but It comes back Love is in the air That we breathe And in the glass of water We drink to quench the thirst And in the food we eat If you take a moment To savor the world In every way it opens up to you You will feel love In every drop of rain And ray of sun And blink of the starts In the dark sky of the night In the breath of a child In an old man’s sight In your own heart
