Love is…

Love overcomes the dirt. I was about to say that love is dirty. That it sacrifices, it gets beaten, it is broken, it dies a thousand deaths. It is found in gutters and alleyways with bums and addicts.

But it’s not dirty. It is clean… Love overcomes the dirt. I was about to say that love is dirty. That it sacrifices, it gets beaten, it is broken, it dies a thousand deaths. It is found in gutters and alleyways with bums and addicts.

But it’s not dirty. It is clean. It sanitizes, washes away, covers, and paints over. It washes the inside regardless of the stench on the outside. It causes us to get dirty, but makes us clean in the process. It is absolutely essential to life, more than air, more than drink. I can’t grasp it, but I can touch it. It refuses to be placed in the box I made for it. It breaks it’s bounds and grows swallowing me whole.

It waits when I want to go.
It is soft when I am hard.
It rejoices when others have what I want.
It is quiet when I want to shout.

It does not think about me but you.
It values what others have to say.
It yields.

Nothing gets on it’s nerves.
It holds no grudges.
It hates injustice.
It basks in truth.

It stands tall when weighted down.
It looks foward to a bright future.
It takes beatings without a word.
It lives forever.
