All-Encompassing Love

Thrown around words

Misinterpreted meanings

Inappropriate antidotes

Shattered, scarred hearts

The additions to a love story gone wrong

Who says the tale has to go south?

Who says all relations end in hurt and heartbreak?

Without baking powder the cake will never reach its full potential

Without a sturdy foundation, a relationship will never rise to its reaches of wellbeing

Taking on the challenge of climbing these rungs is a commitment

A commitment that dips into shallow grooves

Simultaneously, delving into a phenomenon of profound elevation

Take the hand of your beloved one

This is your adventure buddy

Your accomplice

Your shoulder to lean on

Your comforter

Your keeper

Your best friend

This hand that lies within your grasp

Holds you more than your clasp holds theirs

For being in a relationship is independent of all selfishness

All attention

All effort

All intention

Is for the benefit of the other

Feel like you’re falling yet?

Presenting your treasure some heart to an audience of

Vulnerability, trust, and openness?

You’re more than falling

You’re descending

Plummeting

Leaping

Diving into a pit

Of faith

A faith that leaves all obstacles, all celebrations into the hands of a creator

To the rightful owner of the hearts coming together as one

For at the core of this relationship is a pair of hands much stronger than two

A stronghold of guidance and safety

Place your trust in this divine lover

This lover who mirrors your beloved on earth

A reflection that exemplifies true love to the love that your soulmate rightfully deserves

What a blessing to be led into a partnership that emanates love

Still holding onto that hand?

Keep enduring

For a storm could roll through any minute now

A thief plotting to steal your treasure

An enemy armed with destruction

Tricking your truth into doubt

Your sweet aroma into stench

When lo and behold

What looms is an attractive lie dressed in rubber armor

Stand your guard

Positivity, sacrifice, and forgiveness

Grants the opportunity to emerge even stronger

Finally, a stronger web has been woven

With stitches of healing, spirit, and life

A hallelujah of the highest joys rings out

For love has reigned victorious

No longer is love just existing alongside the sweet givings of another

But resting in the assurance that through every trial that has and will come

You have the wellspring of love already etched in your soul

For you’ve spelt out the definition of love letter by letter

And your soulmate has eliminated the spaces to string together a story

Cherish that being whose hand was made to fit into yours

But don’t be afraid to let go

For your love was made in the image of love

A reality that could never be cancelled out

A love that stays steadfast

That spells out the recipe of hope and health

You’re not falling any longer

You never were

Because love has anchored you at the right destination all along

With the fortitude to withstand each wave

Remarkably, sweetly, uniquely

Love has found

Love has been

Love will always be

The way
