I want love,
I have it.
I am it.

I wanted to experience love in all its glory. The way I saw it on TV and social media. ▶️
I wanted it so bad.
I got all of it.
And more. The love that the being resonates with. The love that feels like homecoming. The love that embodies oneness.

Not quite the blind, bombastic, sensational love.
Not mindless and not sporadic.
But a love that’s grounded in reality.
Humble, gentle and balanced. ☯️
A love not bereft of differences, nor gut-wrenching anguish,
All the flavours that come with a human identity. 🌈
Yet, originating from the Divine,
Flavours of Divinity itself.

I had heard about love,
I had longed for love,
I have experienced love.

Life has offered me the romantic, romanticized love;
But also the love as a friend, a father, a son, a brother, a beautiful stranger.
All the colourful roleplays 😅

As a lover of the human spirit, of goodness.
A lover of everything that exists.
The living and dead.
A gradual, reluctant surrender
To what is. 😶

Oneness,
That cannot be described.
That I had visualized.
That visual is merging with reality
Slowly.
