"The Cause Of Our Being"

Let thy heart cease not in seeking love
For it is in this : the cause of our being.

Thus for thy existence sake
Fail not to love
That you may fail not to live.

For to live is to love
And to love is to live.

Seek not things or matters
That which may cause love to cease
For when love ceases
All things matters not.

Will a man robs himself of things
Or matters which may cause him to die?
Nay! But many has failed to live
When they have shunned the love
That should have lodged in their hearts.

What is living then
When love is missing?
It is but a failure to grasp
what life is all about.

Thus for thy existence sake
Cease not in seeking after
What matters most…

Love,
The reason for our being
