Love sits on the fence

Love sits

on the fence

Watching

one side and

the other side

Love invites

both sides

Away from Fear

To sit

on the fence

with Love

Then

When everyone 

becomes uncomfortable 

sitting on the fence

Piece by piece

the fence dissolves

At the hands

of those who rather

dwell with Love together

than with Fear apart

Poet's Note:  I have ideas that might make a book one day, but it's so much easier to write a poem.  Maybe we don't always need a lot of words.  I don't imagine Love destroying the fence, that isn't Love.  But Love just sits on the fence between both sides and invites them to come to feel what it is like to sit the fence.  Maybe when both sides feel the fence, it won't take much effort for them to take it down. 

Sitting on the fence isn't comfortable for anyone.  Sitting on the fence isn't even comfortable for Love.  But where else would Love dwell... Love doesn't take sides.
