Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love’s ecstasy; to return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. - The Prophet

Jocelyn,
Thank you for sharing this quote.I love the Prophet. My favorite is “On Marriage.” I love this part…
“Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not to near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

Hi Jocelyn, beautiful poem. Sometimes love and appreciation are so filling that only a poem can communicate the ecstasy. I love this one.
To realize love exists to fulfill itself is also to realize it is always fulfilled. Each person is love and is fulfilled without any apparent effort of striving to be something. Unconditional love and self-acceptance are always within reach

Love this poem! I am grateful every morning for another day of loving! Maybe that’s why my husband and I are together after 37+ years!
