The Audacity of Love

It can greet you as an equal

compliment you like a friend,

can give you a new begining

or assault you with an end.

Can trick you into believing

that what you think you know is true,

and make you feel like an idiot

as lonliness swallows you.

Life wouldn’t be much without it

there wouldn’t even be grace from above,

we all experience it in many forms

that’s the audacity of love.

It can also bring you comfort

and can ease your worried mind,

soothe you when you’re lonely

teach you to be color blind;

soften the hardest of hearts

give you the spirit of a dove,

kill hatred with a knowing glance

that’s the audacity of love.
