  Love Shall Come Again

When Earth lies covered
in deep Winter’s forgetful
  snows,
and the sharp-edged land
of man’s abominations
softens with the evening
  twilight,
the same clear moon
begins its dance over
city and wilderness.
Then comes the dry,
dead sound of midnight
  calling
as our fears and the
dreadful shadows rise
  to meet us,
and all Time seems
eternally present
frozen in the moment
in this netherworld
of unspoken dreams
and memories of every
door left unopened ;
yet hope still rises to
brush the stars and
assure the lonely,
wounded  heart
that Love shall
come again.

       --- b .e adams (the 'second-hand-dream' poet/"He who weaves dreams")

I agree, dear Bruce, with your profound reflections. Love, after all, is the greatest power we know, but sadly too often we leave the doors unopened. Fear is the enemy!

Wonderfully expressed.
