Not to make loss
beautiful,
But to make loss the place
Where beauty starts.
Where
the heart understands
For the first time
The nature of its
journey.
Love, yes. The
body
of the beloved as the gift
Bestowed. But
only
Temporarily. Given freely,
But now to be earned.
Given without
thought,
And now loss
Has made us thoughtful.
