What Is Love Poem by Sari Mavi

What is love?
The answer remains elusive in part
Because love is not one thing

Love for parents, partners, children,
Country, neighbour, God and so on
All have different qualities

Each has its variants-blind, one-sided,
Tragic, steadfast, fickle,
Reciprocated, misguided, unconditional

At its best, however, all love is just the same kind of
A passionate commitment that our lives were
Filled with enormous love

Nurturing and development both, even though it
Usually arrives in our lives unbidden
That's why it is more than just a powerful feeling

Without nurturing, even the best can wither and die
Without the passion, it is mere dedication
Without the commitment, it is mere infatuation

What is love..
Because love is not one thing
'Love is a passionate commitment'
