As I look into the morning sunrise,
I relive past euphoric moments, the passion,
The glory,
The feeling of godlike proportion.
I smile, as I look upon the world with awe,
Its beauty piercing to within my soul as I walk in the Garden of Eden,
With eve by my side. I am Adam,
You are Venus,
On top of mountains we embrace,
Sharing a love that cannot be erased,
Stamped out or beaten.

It is a love that resides in all human beings,
The very thing that we live for,
Work for,
Strive for.
It is a love that people would die for,
Lie for,
A love that has no boundaries,
No walls,
No restraints.

This is a love that people cry for,
Run for,
Heroically sacrifice for,
A love that God himself has given to humans,
When Jesus died for us.

Gracefully experiencing every single second of this momentous,
Gargantuan, awe-inspiring feeling.
A thing that people would give up their lives for,
Their jobs for,
Their family for,
Their friends for,
For the greatest gift in the world,
Eternal life in the eyes on the lord,
The love that carries no twist or gag.

It is a love that gives light to the darkest depths of sorrow,
A smile to a tortured mind,
Glue to a broken heart,
A net for an upset stomach.

This soaring feeling,
Comes to those who wish to find it,
It comes to those who would give everything they have and would ever want for this single thing,
The single and only gift that keeps us all alive,
Together and true.

The one thing that all humans need most,
The love of another,
It is the universal code of friendship,
Companionship and meaning to our existence.

And wherever you may strive to find it,
You will not need cables,
Manacles or chains,
You shall be floating high above,
In the morning sunrise,
Together,
With each other and the world,
On top of mountains,
Above clouds,
Where true euphoria becomes a reality.

To this end, I shall say one thing more, Love ‘is’ meaning…

I usually don't respond to religious inferred writings..but would God or the Lord really want you giving up your family, job, life, and everything else you mentioned for his love only...would he want you hurting others that way, including "lieing" or would he want you to include these "things" in a positive way.

not so sure about this:
A love that has no boundaries,
No walls,
No restraints.

And yes the world is a place of "awe". And I am glad you are feeling that "high" right now.

I was trying to infer the love from one person to another, comparing it to how powerful God's love is. I personally am unsure what to believe with religion, i just though that a mutual feeling of love from one person to another could be put into context with god's love, just an idea..

Thanks for the 'softly softly' critisism by the way, i felt like a million dollars afterwards.
