Something about Love

This is a poem written by my sister Jasmine almost 1 year before her death


One Love, your sister

Something about love
that perhaps I can not say;
how it sways with ebbs and flows
and crashes with the waves;


It takes you out to oceans deep,
and brings you back to land;
And all the while there's so much more,
below the surface of the water;
below what people see;
And parts so deep,
they've never been charted;
places so dark,
that mountains evolve;
And life grows,
unknown to those up on the shore;


And all these ebs and flows and crashes,
And journeys out to sea;
Can go on record to be discussed, evaluated,
judged, and so forth;
But the essence of the water,
this endless mass;
And all that lives and grows inside it,
its continuance through all things;
can not be explained or judged or analysed,
It is solely felt and known by those abiding it;


Two souls wading, swimming,
and diving deep;
Discovering its treasures,
and coasting on its surface;
T'wards the shore
where conversation awaits;
It is only and above,
all a journey for you;
And the oceans have no end,
only the means of transportation thereon;
