Love Remembers Itself

It is love that persists,
love that refuses the dark,
love that remembers itself 
even when we cannot.

This is a beautifully succinct piece, Robert. The gentle repetition at the beginning of the lines builds a quiet, grounding rhythm that perfectly matches the theme of endurance. I admire how you have captured love as its own enduring force—one that holds onto the light even when our own capacity falters. A deeply moving and elegant free verse!
