Ah! To Love So Completely
A Poem by INNI KAUR
Ah! It is the month of February
Love is in the air
A white blanket drapes the land
While the trees stand bare
Such disparity
Steam rises from my hot chocolate
Mind drifts …
I remember my youthful crushes
I remember my first love
Heart tightens
I sigh!
Why do first loves, retain that power?
I remember my wedding day
The day my husband said I was the most beautiful woman
I knew he was lying
But I loved him for it
I pause
I gaze out of my window
The sun is glistening
The snow is yielding
I smile
Green will soon adorn the land
Trees will don their robes
However, my silver tresses will remain
I feel no anguish.
For these silver tresses have softened me
I now tread lightly
Not wanting to hurt a soul
I now breathe deeply
Savoring every breath
Love has now become sweeter.
It ebbs and flows in my consciousness
It is the reason for my being
Sheer bliss …
To love so completely!

The basis of all spirituality is Love. The moment we experience it, we crave for more and more. We are never satisfied. It is as boundless as God Himself. And those who love, will find God. However, the full meaning of Love, which is vast and full of variety, is beyond human comprehension.
