The Universal Blessing of LoveBy Don Iannone
Each with a different tongue
...speaks the same language of love.
Each with a different heart beats
...to the universe's eternal song of love.
Each with a different hand
...touches others needing love.
Each with a different mind
...resonates with undying love--
the idea underlying all other ideas.
Each star in the universe is kissed
...by love and shines in thanksgiving.
Each moment you live
...no matter how painful or sad
...extends to you the blessing of love.
Reach back and grasp what is yours.

Rama...thanks for stopping by and glad you liked Conscious Living. Visited your blog and am pleased to say that I found a lot of "Heart" there. Wonderfyl!
This is very beautiful!
Thanks Samuru. It felt good.
Does music ever inspire your poetry?
As I was working, I was listening to 2002's instrumental album Land Forever. This poem popped into my head.
After listening to the CD and writing the poem, I read the inside cover, which says: "Within each of us is a loving, magical, powerful being...a real self. Friend that it is, concons us from our worries, enabling that hidden self to emerge."
Isn't it wonderful? Interesting that the sounds of this CD took me to the same place intended by the artists performing the music on the CD.
Thanks Renee.
Hi Don, this ties in well with your previous poem, of your view of true love as universal. Great accompanying picture as well. Also, your choice of form, of 2 line groupings each beginning with "Each", is great here as added emphasis is nicely placed on the two instances in which you break form, "the idea underlying all other ideas" and "extends to you the blessing of love." These two breaks convey your thoughts of the ultimate, that love underlies all and true love, in a sense, extends itself to you.
Incidentally, this last remark reminds me of my conversations with a pastor friend of mine, who says that, in Christian thought, you don't seek or reach out to God, God reaches out to you.
Mike...thanks for sharing. Very insightful. I like this: "you don't seek or reach out to God, God reaches out to you.' Namaste!

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go, oh yes it is

Hey Kathleen...thanks! Our buddy Dan is still re-treat-ing. Good for him. It's up to you and me to keep the Internet humming. Namaste.
