the understatement of love
the hesitation to empathize
is a riddle
is this caused by fear
or callousness
or folly
why, when we hold
with highest regard
true, heartfelt brotherhood
do we not
reach for each other
openly
why, when in the end
we dream only of love
with each other, with the divine
do we give so much to
protect ourselves from
intimacy
let this sadomasochistic
ritual fall away like the
heavy cloak it is
it is not ours
we need not carry
its weight
open
a little more
each day
the soul is waiting
like a fresh seed
in spring
protect ourselves from
intimacy
let this sadomasochistic
ritual fall away like the
heavy cloak it is
it is not ours
we need not carry
its weight
open
a little more
each day
the soul is waiting
like a fresh seed
in spring
