A lesson imparted
With infinite wisdom
By one who knows
Knowing means nothing.

To give of your heart
Is to give of your mind,
Energy, spirit, body.
To give is to love, and

To love is to have faith,
To close your innocent eyes
And fall headfirst into
The abyss of flames.

To trust that if you ever
Hit the blazing bottom,
Someone will be there
To keep you suspended.

It is with complete trust that we are able to love completely.

Loving Light,

That is a beautiful expression of what love is you have to have faith and you have to have trust especially. Your poem is exceptional and I give it a 10

Absolutely. Without trust there can't be love, and trust is a scary thing.
