one drop
Love is the water we thirst for
one drop will enliven our inner desert,
dry sands soaking with life,
allowing growth to where once there was only sand.
Without it men and women go mad,
or worse simply dry up,
not knowing what it is they miss,
happy with ashes that a loveless life offers.
Love the genus
there are many species,
friendship,
marriages with children,
reaching our to others in need,
taking care of oneself,
all are love,
each gives life its color,
spice,
salt and pepper
giving flavor to all that is,
allowing the lover to see the beauty of those around it,
for broader yet
is love of animals, plants, the sun and more,
perceiving the divine
in all things
existing.
