Love’s Truths

Though lovers be lost, love is not lost
Though life is lost, purpose is not lost
Though existence is lost, meaning is not lost
Though love be lost, lovers are not lost
Where courage is, there love can be gained
Where suffering is endured, there love has its chance
Where passion is evoked, there souls may be found
Where love is affirmed, there healing can hold us
Where the sun shines over us, there is night the blacker
Where the winds blow furiously, there is the heart still
Where time takes all, there do we reach further
Where the old ones drop and die, there do we cling on still
Where conflicts arise, there do we commit again to love
Where the parents want us with them, do we break the bonds
Where friends betray us, there do we affirm love the more
Where greater life eludes us, there do we acknowledge defeat
When the sun rises, we move on
When the loved ones leave us,
Then do we say our goodbyes,
When the body fails us, as it surely will,
Then will we cry out our last breaths
When the flame dies on us
Then are we ashes and dust
When our memories fail in others
We are no more . . .
