Irrigable

There is only love when we leave the other behind – our world of others: Commitments deemed by self so paramount, we become perpetually addicted to treadmills; inducted wrong-tracks adhering as a second skin – The rain can fall but the plain will never give back, if the permeable depths irretrievably No benefit by making of one's self a non irrigable desert – having wandered too far and stored up too little – the well used sayings about burning bridges and being a spendthrift, they apply to the heart and soul as well-- Love often...but wisely....

I really had to come to grips with this one. Thought about the ending, "Love often" and did not say Always. This one gave me pause to reflect. And finally decided, "Often" should stand -- it is our human capacity, struggles -- which is really the theme of the poem. Thank you, Marshal. You made my day.

For sure; always love; pour out love -- but if one's love is rejected, better, then, to love that person from afar. What we hold inside, in our hearts, will attract like minded souls. Thank you, Arjun. Blessings my friend.
