What does one love?

Posted on November 18, 2014November 18, 2014 by amelia admin

 

what does one love?

the sun standing proud in the middle, old gasball, and heroic, little earth spinning with a sidekick moon at her side

the lights in the alleys of  cities  gone wild with graffiti on the sidewalk and the trash bins

and when I went to Walden Pond and felt the force of nature and the sky

the simmering, dimmening life and the peace –

there were these swans and the swans were flying and the foxes jumped and the swans were dying

and I was holding his hand and singing a song and I didn’t even think of crying.

What does one love that one actually loves because loving means feeling the pain – and why does one love if the meaning’s elusive, the ending apparently grim?
