Can I believe in love?

Can I believe in love?

Or rather

Can I believe in the power

Of a heart that stays open to trust

Even in the midst of a deluge or a flood of longing

Surging, cresting and breaking

Beaching me upon

The lonely shores of despair

Can I bear

To feel the full force of my heart shattering

As it does

When heaven denies me a glimpse

Of the very thing I set my desire upon

Can I feel the love that lies hidden there

Beneath the surface

And can I show enough love

To the hurting self

So that I can be

Carried across

This seemingly unfathomable ocean

Of loss?

I do believe in love

I believe it is there

Even if hidden underneath

The frustration of thwarting or despair

It is the force that forever seeks its source

Only to find at the end

That the truest love

Is the deepest underground spring

Of acceptance, trust and understanding

That arises from within
