Love

When you think you can go no further
remember, there is love.
When you think the world is too tragic,
remember, there is love.
We as a breed are phoenix-like
with the ability and determination
to build again. No amount of karma
or retaliation can keep us all down.
We see, we hear, we mourn, we weep,
we pick ourselves up and help
in whatever way we can
because we are bound
by the ties of love.
These days are gray and dark
but we can bear them
because we know they will pass.
In a year, two years, five,
we'll see evidence again
that humankind has bounced back,
cleared out the debris, rebuilt out anthills,
and the underlying theme of all these
stories of loss and survival and remembrance
is love.
