What is love? Nakisanga Kharkamni

[Naki]

What is love? 

I shouted into the universe

“What is love? “

Then the stars blinked at me and said, 

“Love has no definition. 

Each night, when you look up at the stars, smiling with happiness

Each gloomy night when the stars fail to shine, but

You still look up with hope. 

That is love my dear. “

So i smile, and the universe smile with me. 

We were in love.

I appreciate you sending this very gentle and philosophical poem about love for consideration for Featured Poem of the Month.  I am now looking at poems to select  for July, as I have already made my choice for June.  I like the contrasts you offer in the poem – star-filled and star-less nights, each offering hope.  Thank you so much for sharing, Susan
