What keeps us alive,
what allows us to endure?
I think it is the hope of loving,
or being loved.
I heard a fable once
about the sun going on a journey
to find its source,
and how the moon wept
without her lover’swarm gaze.
We weep when light does not reach our hearts.
We witherlike fields
if someone close
does not rain their kindness upon us.

Love Poems From God” by Daniel Ladinsky

Roohi's comment---

And this is why we search for love. When all this time this love is always nearer to us then our own breath. In form of GOD's love...in our own heart. The heart of soul. Which is not in chest. but between two eyes. And here the eternal and true love resides. And we weep for we try to find this love outside. But tears shed for HIS love while it resides inside us...are more worthy. Coz these tears take us to HIM...
And it's HIS gaze..HIS inner gaze that keeps us spellbound. It's this kindness that soul craves for...
