Unconditional Love

How can we love unconditionally?
With a full-fledged acceptance
Unquestioning of character
Not noticing the subtle threat
Sweeping the door open
For a most crushing blow
Yet trusting in trust
That the threshold will not be crossed.

Lack of conditions,
Of inhibitions, of time.
Of rules and of logic.
Of all other thoughts.

We avoid it, resent it, reject it
We're not prepared for
The rush, the thrill
The strength of emotions
That go beyond overwhelming us
Beyond touch, taste, sight, and sound
Beyond the world we know so well
Beyond the tip of our imagination
And back to ourselves.





Editor's Note: I wrote this a few months ago and just re-discovered it. 
It doesn't have a rhyme scheme (like most of my other work does); it's more of a stream of consciousness.
It's one of my personal favorites, I hope you like it :)
