Love Conquers Death
I recently read
"A dead lover, who tried to love an enemy,
is unable to help others who truly want and need love."
My immediate thought was of
Anne Frank, wise beyond her years,
who taught all that would read her diary
that there is a Love beyond
Earthly and Material things;
that there is a love of the innocent
that "knowledgeable" people have forgotten.
We learn to fear and forget love.
We learn to covet and forget love.
We learn to distrust and forget love.
We learn to extract rather than to impact.
We learn to barter our gifts
rather than to give freely.
A "dead lover" is unable...?
Shakespeare, Brahms, Beethoven,
Elizabeth Browning, Wyeth and Renoir
all these are long dead, yet their love
lingers to those who want and need love
through their words, music, and artwork.
There is so much love that lingers
in our memories of our loved ones
who left this Earth so long ago or just yesterday
Shall we deny this love that has sustained
so many for so long a time?
I would pray this does not happen to me or you.
Nay, not always
is love
that people can give
interred with their bones.
