When Love is all I have left
Will I be okay
When I bury the rest
In a grave today
I can’t kill Love
It doesn’t die
It never breathed
Like him and I
Love gave the breath
That gives me the chance
To walk, to sing
To write, to dance
So today I place
In a dirty hole
That which died
A long time ago
And Love remains
Eternally
It doesn’t die
Because it never breathed

Poet's Note: Written today... April 15, 2022... Good Friday. Today marks the end of the "Atheism for Lent" course. Today will be the end of something very significant in my life. As I ceremoniously bury it beneath the budding lilac bushes, may I find something blooming soon amid in the fresh lavender coloured blossoms. May I find Love still remaining.
Already I found Love showing up this morning in a beautiful white blanket of snow. It was calm, peaceful and I will be okay.
