Love used to feel more important
than this sad song
full of slow rhythm and whining melody
softly playing the heart strings
of this creation
Love used to feel more powerful
than this humming symphony
blended together in fate and chance
gently strumming the dull strings
of a cadenced universe
Love used to feel stronger
than the ties that bind
intertwined within persons and cultures
quietly ripping at the seems
of a fragile life
Love used to feel deeper
than the ocean blue
full of wandering souls and seas
churning roughly along the shore
of a mistaken world
