What is Love?

I have traveled far to ask,
“What is Love?”
A Buddhist Monk once showed me that
Love is a compassionate heart;
A Christian Saint once showed me that
Love is a forgiving heart;
A Muslim Sheik once showed me that
Love is a devoted heart;
A Taoist Sage once showed me that
Love is a heart that accepts all things as they are;
A Jewish Prophet once showed me that
Love is a heart that sees the one within the many;
A Native American Shaman once showed me that
Love is a heart that feels the interconnectedness of all things;
A Hindu Holy Man once showed me that
Love is, when all that is not love ceases to be.
I have traveled far to ask,
“What is Love?”
And I have seen the many faces of Love,
and I have felt the many ways of Love,
and I have touched the heart of Love itself
and learned that
Love truly is all these things.
