Love Is Not All - DC Darling

[Larry Robinson]

Love Is Not All

Love is not all.
To hold that Love is all
Burdens Love.
But Love is foolish -
Love will labor
To meet demands
It cannot fathom or survive.
To place all hope in Love
Brings it to its knees.

And Love is not light,
But it is the color in light.
Love is not the bread of Life,
It is the yeast that raises it up.

Love is the sweet elixir
That murmurs and flows
Among and between
All in its care.
Love suffuses all
That is given in Love.

When two humans are in love,
And they are awash in Love,
They drown in bliss,
They drift in tides of wonder
Until true Love lifts them up.


They surface, they breathe,
They come to their senses.
They see each other truly.
Still dripping with bliss,
They board their little boat together.
They raise their sails,
And Love fills them.
