The forgotten name of love

There may be far more to love than we will ever know

That has the capacity to lead us home

Even though at times

We seem to be

So utterly lost in a wilderness

That devastates the soul

This is why now

We must let nature’s voice

Open our hearts

To the deeper suffering

That goes with the pain of remembering

Those things that cut us

Off from love

For surely it the wounds that bleed

Which cause us so much difficulty

As they spill themselves onto hollow ground

And all around the winds rage

Calling out

The forgotten name

Of love

Our planets soul ache

Our shared heartbreak
