Poetry: The meaning of meaning is Love's meaning

Meaning. Does meaning need to be two-sided?
Enough meaning from one side gives meaning.
All meaning gains meaning only from itself.
Nothing exists that meaning does not touch.
I have meaning, as you do too, have meaning.
Now has no meaning, though, to itself now.
God gives meaning through his creating you.
Our life takes on more meaning over time, yet,
finding meaning is really more about losing it.
Love is the only meaning that God provides us.
Only love gives meaning because it has meaning.
Very little else ever carries any real meaning.
Every attempt to find meaning without love fails.

If the meaning of meaning is Love's meaning, what is the meaning of Love?
Love and God ultimately have no meaning, unless you give them their meaning in your own life, but then the paradox of your doing this is, that it's only then, that you then really find their real meaning.
Only God can magnify love's meaning, and any other meaning too, for you, in your life.

True ...it is one He who knows the real meaning of all these words.

Yes, I agree.
Some people, though, say that we need the bad to recognise the meaning of the good.
The great Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, (1875 to 1961) thought so too:
The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
That's a quote from him.
I am saying that this duality of meaning is not really the real meaning in anything either though.
The only real meaning in anything is love.

@amitkokiladitya Yes, thanks.
When we lose something that we hadn't valued much, we also see its real value more then too.

@innertalks well said. We actually value a thing in a correct manner only when we know how it feels when we don't have it.

Today I keep to my faith and my love for the Lord and the rest of the love I have inside of my is for my special memories of love gone by.

Yes, such special memories help to give meaning to us in our lives too, I think, especially so, if you give them love, as you are doing there.

The whole creation is borne out of love and the blessings of our creator reaches and pours on everything and everyone. But only the few are able to become aware of the blessings. We need to step up and reach out to embrace a world without borders.
A child is slowly weaned away from the love of God as it learns the ways of our world of selfishness and hatred to survive. It is not easy to unlearn and step back to a world that remains pristine despite our constant tampering and sowing discord.
You have really taken pains to write this beautiful poem along with the accouterments and that acts as the icing on the cake - siva

Thanks, siva.
That type of poetry is called acrostic poetry, where there is a hidden message, seen from the connecting lines. I spelt the message out though, by bolding the letters that make the message.
Love orchestrates each life as long as that life stays in God's orchestra, otherwise, they just make windy noises for themselves, not divine music for God, themselves, and all others too.

@innertalks Yes, I know you leave no stone unturned in your quest to put your best foot forward with your efforts to leave a lasting impression. It is quality trumping quantity - siva

@Shiva49 Thanks, siva. I do not like writing stuff here, unless I have given it proper time, and consideration.
