Paradox of loving



Love has grown ever fonder, broader, wider
Shouting in agony from the rooftops,
The terror of life.

Solitary confinement on a pavement full of people,
Walking by in a hurry, desperate to finish without thinking what’s at the finish line.

Body slightly broken, Pain stops mobility,
Horizons seems further than it’s ever been before,
But the birds are singing,
The rain is falling and I can’t help but dance in joy.

For love has grown ever fonder, broader, wider
Though it makes the solitary confinement longer, sadder, lonely
And the agony pronounced
The terror and wonder of life.
