WHAT IS LOVE;

Panagiotis Karafotias

4 Jan, 2024

WHAT IS LOVE;

In the footsteps of writing

I raised my eyes to Heaven and asked: What is love?

The sky shone and abundant light and an air of peace spread.

And the Galaxies, like angels, danced harmoniously, ecstatically,

while a universal transcendental voice chanted: God is love!

I turned my eyes to the Earth, to the seas and asked: What is love?

The waves calmed down to the sound of music.

I asked the trees and plants: What is love?

And everything sparkled and bloomed with wonderful variety.

I asked the birds flying around: What is love?

And they began to flutter happily with sweet chirping.

I asked the animals in the Jungle: What is love?

The tame ones rejoiced, the wild ones hid in terror.

I dared and went to the center of the Earth and asked: What is love?

The tectonic plates calmed down, earthquakes and volcanoes fell silent.

I also visited Hell and asked: What is love?

Rivers of light poured out, cries, shouts, moans were silenced,

"SORRY" was sobbed, the Devils were wiped out.

I also went to a Refugee Camp of various nationalities and religions and asked: What is love?

And everyone embraced with tears of joy and gratitude.

I also went to Gaza and saw hundreds of corpses of little children, and with awe and pain I asked: What is love?

The blood gushed forth, flowing like a rushing river as if it wanted to shout. But deafening clangs of inhuman, fanatical weapons drowned out any sound of response.

Horrible, tragic "extremity of the grave silence"! Love had been murdered!
