— Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
I am for love
They say
that being a parent is like watching your heart walk around outside of your body.
They say
that grief is just love with nowhere to go.
I walk around
my heart filled up to overflowing
with love whose object
no longer walks with me.
They say
’tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
They say
love never fails.
They say
love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love.
I have come up against it.
And I am for it. I am for love.
