Love’s Prehension
As memories continue to fade…
One finds a strange solace in the period of time
Where love and compassion once born
Became two tendering oneness
Duality became passions colliding
Desire was mistaken for love
Never accepting faults
As errors that have enjoined lessons for the future
And now…
With each gust of wind
That has swept through the ruins of minds and hearts
Peace has been created
Allowing tears of regret
To become smiles of hope and trust
For compassion knows no boundaries
Its essence desires only respect
For love’s prehension
I'm not sure about the use of prehension here. For me it means having some knowledge of the future and getting it right. In the case of the tragic figure in La Dolce Vita, he didn't seem to have a clue until it slapped him right in the face.
