The Story of Love

Sometime long ago
When the earth was still an infant
There was chaos and hate

Out of this turmoil
Arose a shapeless form
That giggled with amusement
Unaffected by the surroundings
Unblemished by the hate
Floating to no particular destination
He soon settled into a comfortable place
And called this hope

Now time passed
And the God’s grew tired of their games
For their ways made humans void of emotion
Incomplete and unhappy
Empty pawns of pain
Living in a world without love

One day
While walking the lands
A God of great beauty
Pondered the future of man
And his own kind
When he heard…
What sounded like joy
Could it be?
Then behold
In a small pocket of time
Lay a giggling figure
Familiarity was immediately felt
A kindred God
Lost within a world of pain

“The hope for mankind”
“Has been here all along”
The beautiful god quietly whispers
As two tears drop
From his glowing face
Instantly becoming instruments of change
That our loving demi god quickly embraces
Now, Cupid has a purpose
And with his golden bow and arrows
He disappears between thoughts
To spread joy and love
To a receptive world

Marcel
