Love/Hate

It is a statutory thing    eating humble pie  Crumbling falls to ground    more used to blood Than feeling morning dew.  We have known the mutuality  taken brotherhood/sisterhood                    in it. Flocked in bird time gathering  unsobered joy of sober thought.  And known a twilight of flight  hindering each other's passageway To stars secretly closer than noisy                          thought.

James, What I 'get' from this is most likely not your intent: I feel loving is such a thing as murder. It is very good in it's purity, as is 'Jesus Christ'. But they both have the Ability to be used as a devastating weapon. So much is done in the name of both, which completely annihilate their true purity of purpose. Love is almost a hated/feared word with all the expectations......put upon it. I think if we could love or hate whichever and admit it without all the baggage.......we could all touch the stars. I believe in love but minus all the expectations. It just is what it is! Love and Christ need not be murdered daily. We need to give ourselves a break..........and be free to be. Dellena
