Notes About The Poem

One Love

("Summer of Love", 2019, original encaustic mixed media)

One Love

With the passage of time
One love follows after another
- the nouns of our existence
people, places and things
we place our hopes on -
Changing like the seasons
In cycles of growth and decay.

But one love remains constant
Timeless simply by its presence out of time
Ever changeless and unconditioned 
Even if unacknowledged
Neglected or denied
A root love
That knows no bounds.

With the seasons we cycle
Around and around
Growing and decaying, 
Recalling and forgetting
What it is that holds us
In its orbit
In its love.
