It Is All Love

A poem about the nature of reality and the yearning for the Creator

Fear not.

This world is but a dream,

A comedic dress rehearsal 

For Life.

Play your part upon the stage

But stand back watching.

Know your True Self

Not bound by time,

Eternal.

It is Love that binds the mysteries of

Quantum Mechanics.

Love chants the electron shell.

Love flings a billon billion stars

Across each Saharan night.

Love sings to moon

Tug my mighty oceans into tides,

Tells wind to make waves.

Love makes sing 

A thousand thousand birds

While bringing to us dawn.

It is all Love

Ishq Allah, mabud Allah

Return me to the path of Love.

Burn my world to ash.

Turn my heart afire

With love of the Beloved,

While my hot blood yearns

Sing to me the Secret.

Ishq Allah, mabud Allah

Turn my heart afire

With love of the Beloved,

While my hot blood yearns

Sing to me the Secret.

It is all Love

[Curly Grace]

love is both the essence of God and the path back to God. beautiful, Michael.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thank you Sarah. And thank you also because…….I had not looked at this in quite a while and, as sometimes happens, I immediately found a line with which I was unhappy.

[John Sullivan]

Appropriately, I love this. Peace be upon you, and so on.

[Michael Sun Bear]

Thanks for reading John, much appreciated.

This is such a beautiful piece, Michael. The imagery feels vast and tender all at once .. “a billion billion stars across each Saharan night” took my breath away. There’s something so luminous in how you merge the language of science with the pulse of spirit, like the universe itself is whispering through your lines. It feels like a hymn to creation, to the Beloved, to Love in its purest form. I’m deeply moved by this.

Thanks for reading, Roma. Your thoughtful reviews are always appreciated.

[Jansy]

Beautifully captures the longing for the Beloved. Every image...from stars to tides to birdsong; becomes a testament to that divine presence. The repetition of “Ishq Allah, mabud Allah” makes the yearning feel both urgent and timeless, as if the heart itself is reaching toward the Creator.
Truly, heartfelt
