Glimpses - Love

Just four little letters, very common little letters.
In the name of love, diverse actions have been dedicated.
Hearts have been broken, wars have been fought and lives have been lost.

What power is possessed in this tiny little word that takes, creates and controls lives?
The ultimate search, the barometer for life’s success, blind confusion seeking a concept.
How can power to possess and control be so single, so sweet.
Mountains are moved under this unique directive.

Lands are transversed, seas are battled.
Life is given and life is sacrificed.
Most sought after, most longed for, life’s directed ambition
Often as fleeting as a whisper in the wind.

Given and taken as currency, traded and bartered as necessity dictates.
Conditional for some yet unconditional to others
Four little letters, L O V E.
A funny little word.
