Love and He
Love and He
He: "Who are you?"
Love: "I am love."
He: "What are you."
Love: "I am the self-portrait
of anyone brave enough
to make a gift of me
to another."
He: "But I don't have you.
How can I give
what I don't have?"
Love: "That's my paradox.
You cannot have me
until you give me."
He: "But it makes no sense.
And why brave?"
Love: "It takes courage
to conquer the fear
of not having me."
He: "I'm lost.
When will I be found?"
Love: "When you can give me
to one who may not want me."
