Only Love

Lovers come & go but love

is not so diffident. It

never looks for escape routes

or wants to be held against its

will. No balled fist will keep

ephemeral feelings of love

from falling through fingers.

Love keeps its hand open wide.

Love is the only word that never

needs to be heard in order to be

present. Anyone who ever has to

close his fist to hold onto a feeling,

is not holding love. Someone once asked

Eartha Kitt if she’d be willing to

compromise for love & her laugh

became the shot heard round the

world because she knew that love

never makes you less of yourself.

Only more. Always. More. Only love.

Peace & Love,

Rosalind
