Love

Love…
Is a tricky thing.
It pulls, it pushes
It divides, it conquers.
It defies all reason.
Bend to its will
It will break you.
Accept its truth
It will make you.
It hurts, it heals
It gives, it steals.
Without it
We are lumps of flesh.
Within it
We are Starlight.
Beyond space.
Beyond time.
When you think it is gone
Love lives on.
It becomes, it stays
It waxes, never wanes.
It is boundless.
We share, we receive
We grow, we believe.
When it comes–
Listen.
When it is needed–
Given.
When it is present–
Be.
