for worse

For will love hold the hand of fear Look into eyes bereft of now And see The essence of love’s ashen fire Aglow amid its ruins

a thought provoking and mindful poem, John. I liked those last two lines...the embers of love remain even when the fire has apparently been extinguished. Have a great evening, Sara
