Divine Love Versus Ordinary Love

It's not uncommon for people to dismantle the contents of mystery And in this recklessness pouring themselves into the bowl of selfishness In our passion to pursue earthly desires We dismantled the divine Love And assembled ordinary love to suit our immense appetites We were never satisfied with the contents of unconditional Love It was pushing us towards each other but we had other plans We wanted to eat from the palm of life with forks and knives Not only did we want the juicy nectar We wanted to create the chemistry of the juicy nectar in our own laboratories (hearts) We want to harness the power of Love in our own misguided experiments So, we created ordinary love out of our forgetfulness Out of the nothingness of our being, we created a force that surpasses all forces But there was a catch…it was unstable and full of uncertainties It was a time/space entity, total devoid of all the attributes of unconditional Love It was as sweet as the divine nectar but it was also poisonous Fully loaded with all the toxins of life Ordinary love is not equivalent to the divine mystery (Unconditional Love) That which is forever flowing is true Love That which has no burdens and expectations Its river has no barriers Its waters are the waters of the spirit Divine Love is a garment for the selfless Those who are clothed with humility It's the true substance of existence Capable of nourishing a barren womb of life And igniting the fires of hope Divine Love has no end and beginning It's forever available It's the ecstasy of being ©
