When love arrives

To have loved like never before,
Such a notion; soft and strange,
Like moonlight learning how to breathe
Inside a heart that feared its change.

It comes not knocking, not announced,
No warning bell, no guiding sign,
It slips in through forgotten cracks
And makes your broken edges shine.

When love comes forth, you realize
The weight of every silent tear,
The prayers you whispered to the dark
Were only teaching you to fear.

It teaches hands to hold with faith,
And eyes to see beyond the skin,
It turns your doubts to fragile stars
And lets new galaxies begin.

To love like this is not to fall,
But rise through storms you never knew,
To find yourself in someone else
And still come back more fully you.

For love is not a fleeting flame
That fades when shadows interfere,
It is the truth your soul remembers
When everything becomes sincere.

So let it come in quiet ways,
Unscripted, wild, and undefined,
For love is not the end of you,
It is the becoming of your kind.

A gentle, luminous piece. Love arriving quietly and reshaping everything with calm sincerity. It reads like a soft becoming.

You have written a beautiful poem my friend. It could have been written by a Sufi, one on the Path of Love.
