Love grown by design

It was where the several stayed

the few – they strived to be

like those stuck to the peaceful shore

who much preferred the sea

What part do we mere mortals play

in where the others are –

the choice is theirs – and theirs alone

we see a different star

Contradiction lives its life

in uncertain times –

to doubt is only to be wise

like water turned to wine

Yet does one’s wish to tear down the wall

lay their feelings bare –

a darling bud springs to bloom –

from no-man’s-land to there

And as the night that fell shines once again

and meets the brightest sky

belief meets trust and honesty –

a love grown by design.
