Comparisons odious-yet two eyes focus
upon the similarities and differences between
that which is love and those who are beloved
If we loved trees as much as people,
forests would bloom instead of highrise skylines
If we loved water more-free flowing rivers
If we loved earth,would we chemically fertilize/poison?
If we loved air,would we carbon footprint skies?
Our love is fickle and familiar.We eat,move on.Fast food.Indigestion.
This is a slow dance of glaciers.You want instant melt.
These elders stood through storms for centuries
You want homes and fences to keep love out
You chop and criticize any love color size weight
that is not your mirror need.You feed on love,forget
it must be seeded ,fed,sheltered,nurtured,
Do you love your inner child?If so,why this ?
Comparisons reflect us.
