To Be One

Seek not the Fountain of Love -

Seek not what you think you sought.

The hollow gap eager fill,

But a telling sign of one weak will.

Dare not taint love as puissant solution -

When all needs exceed mere companion.

Dare not ask love graciously give -

When as singular as barely live.

The wanton tangle, the impeccable face,

Define not the qualities of a true mate.

The tender kiss, the starry night,

Define not sustenance nor knowledge alight.

Seek conversations with inner being;

Sip the nectar of history, the fruit of asking.

Seek experiences plenty for growth;

Uproot old perspectives loath.

Seek to sow love in said hole;

Nourish a tree that blossoms whole.

Stand before the fountain alone,

Drink a cup to effort known,

To only seek love when you’ve shone.
