The Unexpected Lightness of Love November 16, 2010
How light, how light
the reins of love!
(How light, how light
the reign of love!)
I came ready
to bear
a heavy burden.
But received
a gift
light and delicate as a feather.
How can I bear
so precious
a gift?
My strength
alone
will not suffice.
Only love
is gentle enough to bear
love.
