~~If you have really loved ~~

~~~If you have really loved~~~

___________________________

***************************

If you have really loved, 

You will 'celebrate' the death of your loved one, 

For he/she has not died, 

But has only cast off the mortal coils,

That tether one to the limited existence,

-of the 'self', 

That are really the true sorrow. 

He / she has merged in the Love infinite,

Joy Eternal,

That is God, 

-The Self-Real, 

The only Reality, worth the name.

And you too.

Oh yes !! 

The unnatural and untimely death of any one so close,

Is a great sorrow,

But if you have really loved, 

You shall live with this sorrow,

As long as it stays in your heart. 

Then it shall mature, flower and itself 'die',
Fall-off like a leaf on the tree of 'Life' ,

Disappear in the Tremendous pure Love,

Because things of mind die their own death.

Life dies not. Love dies not.
