Become the Beloved - a poem : Episode 5

to become the beloved
we have to make loving gestures all the time
everyday
every waking day
good morning sunshine
is a mantra both for ourselves and the ones we love
every
single
day

to find your beloved you must become a white-hot lover
if you don’t consider yourself romantic
perhaps love and loving is not your life path
the journey to love is continuous
and can begin at this moment
you can summon the beloved
today

become a deep listener
offer your time to another
listen with all of your senses
be quiet
adoring attention does not speak
you don’t have the answer
only empathy
closeness
and time

the more we listen to our beloved
their illumination brightens for both of us
connections form between our souls
traveling in time
giving time
spending time
as the only offering of value in life

become the beloved
and you will call out the beloved
in another
