Enchanting love

I saw love

Like a firefly

Moving swiftly through the wilderness

I was enchanted by its beauty

For I had never seen something

So pure so beautiful

In my entire life

I was engulfed by a strong desire

I wanted to hold it

Gently in my plams

Look at it lovingly

Nourish it with my love and care

I was so blinded by its beauty

That I didn’t notice the path of thorns

Under my feet

I didn’t think for a moment

I started walking on those thorns

And I was bleeding

With pain that shattered my heart into a million pieces

But strangely

After a while

I didn’t feel it

For my heart was full with nothing but love

And compassion and kindness

Slowly I was transformed

Into a more beautiful person

Inside out

When I reached the other end

And found love

I held it close to my heart and said

“I could walk through the thorny path over and over if it leads me to you”
