Love and War

War
so perilous 
when love's weak
but infirm
when love's resistant
when love's firm
war,
as a powerless constraint
fails
then love
takes its stand
like steel
on solid smooth land
unshaken
little wind cannot break
war is subdued
battle fails
love prevails
like a resisting seed
under dare-pressing conditions
love withstands
war's weak hands
love remains
love triumphs
against uneven paths
love survives.
